Carrie Underwood is the original mean girl. Truly so stuck up and hateful despite the sweet southern act. NO ONE locally likes her
MsChelleR: I knew Carrie Underwood before American Idol. Her family owned a chicken farm which made her family have more money than some in our small town. She was so rude. A bully in every sense of the word.
nikolledenise: My grandparents lived near Carrie underwood. She is absolutely as mean as people say she was back then.
Megan Fritz: Knew Carrie Underwood when she was in Checotah and going to school in tahlequah. She’s always been evil as hell and doesn’t portray herself the way she did back then.
