Carrie Underwood may have “saved the next girl a little trouble” by putting to rest rumors about a reported feud with the blonde star.
Nikki Glaser — a self-proclaimed Swiftie — served as a guest judge on a recent Taylor Swift-themed episode of “American Idol,” and fans were sure to catch the rift between Underwood and the comedian.
Underwood, who joined the singing competition series as a judge in 2025, stood firm against any perceived feud between the two when they appeared on “The Highway with Cody Alan.”

The “Jesus, Take the Wheel” singer shared a snap with Glaser on Instagram following the episode, and wrote, “We had a fun night with the hilarious Nikki Glaser who joined us as a guest judge tonight on ‘American Idol.'”
Fans quickly questioned the sincerity of Underwood’s writing after calling out the local star for appearing to throw shade at the comedian during the episode.
“Carrie didn’t look happy with Nikki sitting next to her,” another fan wrote. “I rarely look at him during the show.”

Alan couldn’t help but roll his eyes as he spoke on social media featuring the “Before He Cheats” singer.
“They want to fight the cat over the smallest things,” Alan said before Underwood jumped on his own theory.
“I’m pretty used to that,” Underwood assured the broadcaster. “Because I feel like if you have two women in the same room together, someone is going to try to do something about it.”
“He was great and I think he did a great job, because it’s not an easy thing to come and sit behind that desk and try to think of positive things to say. I think he did everything amazing.”
Underwood assured the audience, “No, there’s no beef. I don’t have beef.”

“It’s not like water cooler conversations where I wouldn’t know what people were talking about in school or whatever, and now you can just say it online.”
He added, “That’s something that everybody should look at. I’m like, ‘I promise you one day you won’t care,’ but right now I know they care.”
