Carrie Underwood’s Dress Performs at ACM Awards (Video)

Carrie Underwood’s dress is, unsurprisingly, the most hotly discussed highlight of last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards.

The dress, a long, strapless, burgundy-red shimmery affair, billowed like a deflating hot-air balloon as she ~~floated~~ walked across the stage. While I can understand the effect she was trying to achieve by wearing the dress, it’s obvious they crossed the line. Throughout Carrie Underwood’s entire (flawless) performance of “I Told You So,” the dress was so distracting that it actually took away from the enjoyment of listening to the song.

Even ACM host, Reba McEntire, quipped “I was going to wear that exact same dress!” after the performance.

Carrie Makes Country Music Awards Results Depressing

I thought that country music was all about hope and happiness, but Carrie Underwood’s CMA dress isn’t really driving the message home: I’m thinking more about the corpse bride than anything else. The co-host of last night’s Country Music Awards got her third award for Female Vocalist of the Year, and that means she’ll be looking at pictures of herself in this for years to come (see right). Did she not anticipate this? I would’ve at least shown a little leg.

To quote a Taylor Swift fan, “Taylor [Swift] is like the new queen of all things country.” She was definitely easier on the eyes last night at the CMAs, and while Underwood’s standing ovation for “Just a Dream” won’t repair the damage, it’s a start.

Carrie Underwood Blasts Candidate-Backing Celebrities

We’re all hanging into the results rolling in from today (yay! and eek!), so I thought that you might be interested in one such celeb who did not publicly back a candidate today: Carrie Underwood. In fact, she told TV Guide that she loses respect for celebs who chose to support a candidate and tell people about it. I can definitely understand that in the case of ridiculously OTT Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt:

“I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate. It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions. I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to.”

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Disney “star” Selena Gomez was a font of wisdom when she told E! Online that “A lot of people do look up to certain celebrities and will follow in their footsteps. I think you just have to be aware of what you’re saying.” Of course, she quickly said that “I’m not really sure who I would pick to run our country,” which makes me really glad that she’s not two year older.

Oldie-but-Goody: I’m Rooting for Jessica, Not Carrie Underwood

In this supposed fight between Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson, I’m going to have to side with Jessica. While the whole “Tony-Romo-is-my-future-baby’s-daddy” is verging on super-gross, it doesn’t mean that a jealous ex should be called you FAT. OK! reports that Carrie Underwood might be paying extra attention to her rival Jessica:

“She finds Jessica’s love of putting her life on display pretty desperate. She laughed at the People cover, because it’s the same one Jess did about John Mayer — same smile, same look, except she’s a little fatter.”

Even though a source close to Carrie said this, so we have no way of knowing if it’s true, I’ve got my eyebrows raised. Jessica’s music sucks enough with the move to country; do we really need to be critiquing the bod as well? She’s nesting!

I didn’t expect to side with Jessica, trust me, but no girl deserves this b*tchiness (if it’s true).
