00:00A Dallas cowboy, a fashion mogul, and country's biggest divas — think she's too nice to
00:05put friends on ice?
00:07She's a diehard vegetarian, but with these stars, Carrie Underwood is all about the beef.
00:13Longtime fans of Carrie Underwood might recall the star's previous relationship with former
00:17Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
00:20According to Bleacher Report, the problem was that Romo allegedly didn't think the relationship
00:25was all that serious.
00:26After eight months, the two called it quits.
00:29Maybe that's why, when Underwood was asked if her song, Cowboy Casanova, was about Romo,
00:33she told Esquire,
00:34"'No.
00:35I would never immortalize a guy that did me wrong.
00:38I would never give him that much credit.'"
00:40As for Romo, he's shared very little about Underwood beyond putting her in the friend
00:44zone, telling Sports Illustrated in 2007,
00:46"...I've been lucky to get to know her.
00:49We're friends.
00:50We've gone through similar walks in life and we enjoy hanging out.
00:53Last year, I watched American Idol for the first time."
00:56But Romo isn't the only athlete Underwood has been linked to.
00:59Her husband is former professional hockey player Mike Fisher.
01:02And luckily, it appears that the two are a perfect match.
01:06"...I got everything and more than I dreamed of, to be really honest."
01:10"...It's just because I'm sitting here."
01:13Underwood's relationship with former Gossip Girl star Chase Crawford also fizzled out
01:17early on.
01:18According to Cosmo, the stars reportedly met in 2007.
01:22Things moved fast, and Crawford introduced Underwood to his parents and visited her on
01:26her tour.
01:27But eight months later, it was over, via text.
01:30As Underwood told the outlet,
01:32"...it was like, peace out.
01:33We both knew it didn't work and have no hard feelings whatsoever.
01:37Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on."
01:41"...I've never really been one of those people, a person that needs a significant other."
01:46But if the split was amicable, we sure wouldn't be talking about it.
01:50As the singer recalled to Now magazine,
01:52"...in my heart, I knew it wasn't right.
01:54You never really know why someone is with you.
01:56I feel like it was more of a publicity stunt."
01:58The star also noted times when paparazzi would suspiciously swarm her and Crawford during
02:03public outings.
02:04Fun fact, Chase's sister, Candice Crawford, has been married to Tony Romo since 2011,
02:10making Carey's two exes official brothers-in-law.
02:14Underwood's alleged feud with fellow country music star Leigh-Anne Rimes made headlines.
02:20Rimes had a lot to say after Underwood won the Country Music Award for Female Vocalist
02:24of the Year in 2006.
02:26Many expected singer Faith Hill to win.
02:28And when she didn't, she and her fans were shocked.
02:31Rimes chimed in on the matter, defending Hill's bad reaction to Underwood's win.
02:36In a statement published to her website, she wrote,
02:38"...these award shows are so political and we all get fed up with them.
02:42We all work very hard and have for many years, so to see someone come in and win Female Vocalist
02:47that has been here for a very short time is a little disheartening."
02:50She probably felt, as I did, that Carey has not paid her dues long enough to fully deserve
02:55that award.
02:56It appears that Underwood wasn't thrilled by the statement, with a source telling Star
03:00Magazine,
03:01"...Carey saw it as a shallow and shameful welcome into the industry and it showed Leigh-Anne's
03:05true colors."
03:06Another insider claimed Underwood requested a new dressing room after finding out she
03:11had been placed next to Rimes at the CMA Country Christmas Special.
03:15Underwood has yet to publicly speak out against Rimes.
03:19After Underwood and Tony Romo split, the former football player dated Jessica Simpson.
03:24Underwood seemingly ruffled Simpson's feathers with a comment she made about Romo.
03:28Describing her ex, Underwood told Allure in 2008,
03:31"...we were both small-town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing
03:36with fame."
03:37When asked about their current status, she said,
03:39"...I don't know.
03:40The phone will ring and it'll be him and I'll maybe not answer."
03:44Simpson quickly shut down the claims, telling The Woody and Jim Show,
03:47"...Tony and I both laughed at that.
03:49Yeah, we got a chuckle out of it."
03:51Simpson then joked that she looked through Romo's call history to ensure it was free
03:55of Underwood's number.
03:57Simpson also addressed a shirt she once wore that read,
04:00"...real girls eat meat," a potential jab at Underwood, who is a longtime vegetarian.
04:05Simpson clarified,
04:06"...I thought it was funny.
04:07I don't know what Carey eats.
04:09I didn't know she only eats vegetables."
04:11Underwood later told Elle she had no intention of feuding with Simpson.
04:15Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood both won their seasons of American Idol and went on
04:20to earn massive success in their careers.
04:22They have a lot in common, and that's including the fact that they allegedly can't stand each
04:26other.
04:27Still, the stars insist there's no bad blood between them.
04:30They even made a point of it by once walking the red carpet together at the Radio Disney
04:34Music Awards.
04:35As Clarkson explained to Entertainment Tonight,
04:38"...everybody always tries to pit me and Carrie against each other.
04:41So when I saw her, I was like, you know what, let's just end this right now and get a picture
04:45together because we are never in the same place.
04:48And like, it never happens."
04:49"...people always try and put it together, like we're like enemies.
04:52I'm like, we don't even know each other well enough to be enemies."
04:55Yet it appears that despite their obvious efforts, reports insist they're embroiled
04:59in grueling competition with each other.
05:01An anonymous source told Star magazine that Underwood was allegedly upset when Clarkson
05:06released her Kellyoke EP around the same time that her own album, Denim & Rhinestones,
05:11dropped.
05:12The outlet also claimed that Reba McEntire once had to intervene in the singer's feud.
05:16True or false?
05:17We'll let you be the judge on this one.
05:20It might be safe to say that Underwood's not a Billy Eichner fan — mainly because she
05:24has him blocked on Twitter.
05:26And if you're wondering why, here's what went down.
05:29In 2021, Eichner tweeted a screenshot that showed he had been blocked by Underwood, captioning
05:34it, "'Iconic'," with no further explanation.
05:37But he finally opened up about the situation on Watch What Happens Live in 2022.
05:41"'Harry Underwood blocked me on Twitter, yeah, which I consider a great honor."
05:45"'I do too!'
05:46"'It was one of the great thrills of my life.'"
05:49The star says he was blocked because he poked fun at Underwood after she retweeted a post
05:53opposing children wearing masks at school during the pandemic.
05:57Underwood has yet to speak out about Eichner's statement or reveal the real reason why she
06:01blocked him.
