If you ask Carrie Underwood, she’d likely tell you Miley Cyrus had the right idea when she stopped using Twitter to stay in touch with her fans.
Carrie’s gone multi-platinum with each of her first two albums and won the Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year award three times in a row. People want to know everything they can find out about her. But even after engaging a huge fan base through her introduction on “American Idol,” Carrie’s been reticent to give away too much of her personal life for public consumption. And she’s completely disinterested in creating a Twitter account.
“It just sounds like organized stalking to me,” she told Billboard. “I’ll be in a restaurant, and I’ll get home and somebody tweeted and talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing. In some cases, that could be dangerous because you don’t want everybody to know where you are in every second of every day.”
Though Carrie doesn’t have a Twitter account, she has had someone try to pose as her through the service.
It’s tough for anyone to masquerade as Carrie in the vocal field, though. She’s a one-of-a-kind singer, and her third album, Play On, comes out Nov. 3. She’ll co-host The 43rd Annual CMA Awards with Brad Paisley Nov. 11, and possibly walk away with a fourth straight female vocalist trophy.
