Alright I actually can't anymore, I think I'm gonna have to stop supporting her as someone who works in Healthcare and has a fiance who's a RN, this is devastating and dangerous. I thought you said this a few months ago?? And not sure why people feel like they need to announce things like this? Everyone can do what they want but personally I think it’s a little dramatic. But to each their own

Disappointing if that video is indicative of her feelings on masks, especially with all the news of the Delta variant being harmful to kids. I hope she clarifies her views in her own words. Kind of impressive she made it 16 years into her career without a controversy like this. She caused a lot of controversy when she came out for gay marriage in 2012.

I am going to tell myself that Mike swiped her phone. 😜 It is strange for her to like anything that could be seen as political, good or bad.

We should take into consideration her posts with a mask. She’s made plenty of posts wearing hers that someone pointed out on Twitter. When she had her hair done a few months ago.. mask. When she bought My Gift last year on release day… mask. And that’s just a couple. Truth is nobody knows exactly where anybody that is private specifically stands on everything. It’s not like she’s making comments like Andean made at his concert a few nights ago. I truly think she just wants her kids to have a normal childhood. They’re only a kid once and she probably wants them to have the best childhood they can.
Also, for anyone that is turning in their “fan” card over this it really is in question how much of a fan you were in the first place. The love this woman has in her heart for people that she has shown over the past 17 years of her career and you’ll give up on her over one tweet that we don’t even know the full story about where she stands? Give me a break.

I mean...would anyone really be surprised? I would find it hard to believe she married someone so diametrically opposed to her own ideologies. smh I mean, she’s said they disagree a lot and they have “interesting” discussions. So, yeah, I don’t think she follows fully in-step with Mike. Kind of like how Kelly was married to and had children with someone like Brandon. Obviously she didn’t co-sign all of his beliefs. Surely not fully in-step, I just don't see how this is necessarily a shock. And while we're delving into 2009 whataboutism, I don't think Brandon was public about his politics, certainly not the same way Mike is, so most of that is just guessing based on, well, everything else we know about him lol. Plus, ya know, she divorced him... ETA: I don't even think that liking one (awful, gross tweet from a fucking dumb pig MAGAt) tweet should be enough to derail anything, from her career to people even liking her, until we get more context as to what her views are. Kelly, for example, got in hot water about a decade ago for a tweet expressing support of Ron Paul of all ghouls and then clarified, and has gone on since to clearly have evolved her thinking even further. It's entirely possible, if not probable, Carrie has no idea who tf Matt Walsh is and is just sick of her kids whining about masks. If she lends her voice to the anti-masks-in-schools crowd, all bets are off, but until then I would think at least her fans would give her some benefit of the doubt.

They’re only a kid once and she probably wants them to have the best childhood they can. So she should want kids to wear masks and keep them as safe as possible. Anti-masking is one of the absolute stupidest hills to die on, but I'm more offended that she would like or even follow the virulently racist/homophobic/misogynistic Matt Walsh.

Give me a break. I’ve been having these thoughts all day. I mean it is a bad tweet she liked. Yes. 100%. But I think we’ve seen that she does follow protocols for herself and in her work life. We’ve clearly seen it at the 2020 ACM and 2020 CMA Awards. She has be willing to follow testing protocols since they were mandatory at the 2020 ACM and CMA awards and at the 2021 ACM and 2021 CMT Music Awards. And unless she starts going full Wallen or Barrett, I’m calling this an accidental misstep. Maybe M*ke stole her phone! Lol EDIT: also she doesn’t even follow him on Twitter!!!!

Lol all these "fans" posting in this thread about how Carrie lost them as a fan. If the first time you've posted in this thread in months, possibly ever, is you announcing to us that you're no longer a fan, then you were never really that big of a fan in the first place and you don't need to announce your departure. This isn't an airport.
I think this is being blown way out of proportion. For one, do we know for 100% certain Carrie was the one who liked the tweet? Could it have been Mike, or even someone on Team CU accidentally? I'm assuming lots of people have access to Carrie's Twitter account. For two, as people above have stated, we have seen Carrie do a good job wearing her own mask at events and on social media. Actions speak louder than liked tweets, people.
The reality is we don't truly know her stance on masks and we likely never will. Things aren't so black and white that her liking a tweet means she's the root of all evil and needs to be cancelled.

Thank you!!! I also just wanted to share this tweet in case people needed photographic proof of her in a mask!!

Yes. Everything about this. Also noticed that too about all the randoms in here announcing their departure. Like sweetie you probably haven’t payed much attention to anything past before he cheats. Mama Underwood had 24 #1s and became a country music legend since then.

Anti-masking is one of the absolute stupidest hills to die on, but I'm more offended that she would like or even follow the virulently racist/homophobic/misogynistic Matt Walsh. Well to be fair, she doesn’t follow him. Just wanted to chime in that I’m upset because anti-masking under any context is just simply a denial of science (and ultimately in this case, a lack of care for other people’s lives), which is why the liking of this tweet is even more jarring coming from the same woman who has been very vocal about staying safe from this virus and social distancing and everything…which leads me to HAVE to believe it wasn’t even her. But I am not about to suddenly stop listening to her, lmfao. She has been so far removed from what is stereotypically the norm for country artists’ views that I find it incredibly hard to believe that there are people in here announcing they’ve shredded their stan card.

I love Carrie. She never shies away from what she truly believes even if it will get her bashed. From supporting gay marriage, to the joke about Trump while hosting the CMAs, and now this.
Also, she didn’t like a tweet opposing mask mandates, she liked a tweet opposing mask mandates in children, which is a very controversial issue and different from mask mandates in general.

I'm just going to hope this is a one-off thing and not a glimpse into her other beliefs. Masks have been proven to help slow the spread of the virus and maybe she just needs to be given reliable sources stating as such. There's not enough information for us to make conclusions. She built her whole career out of staying out of things for the most part so while this blind sides us, hopefully she'll not like any similar tweets.

This is typical Twitter drama (online drama for a day, “omg so and so is over,” and will be forgotten by Friday).. and FWIW, it’s easy to accidentally like things from your phone anyway (I’ve done it on Twitter before… and this board). I understand why some fans would be upset, but this won’t harm her career in any way.

If something as basic as a belief that isn’t in line with your own is enough to stop supporting someone, then there’d be no one to support.
Look, I think it’s deplorable that “she” even liked the tweet, but she has proven herself to be a respectable person and while she may have her reservations about masking her children, she herself has always followed protocol whenever/wherever publicly.
I will never stop being a fan, I’m in too deep… and her music has really helped me through life’s shit. BUT this is something I will always have in the back if my mind, and it does impact my perception of her as a person…

I mean…. is anyone shocked? No one on this board should be. Yes, she’s not her husband, but no way in hell does someone stay with someone if they have completely different views. Funny that the public is now finding out.

Give me a break. You can question away. That has nothing to do with me or my fandom, that's on you. It's also not one tweet? I've been told she has liked 1-2 other similar tweets in the past year, including one in support of Trump. I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt if someone shows me she hasn't done these things. That's part of my looking into it.

If you’re looking to her fans for reassurance, you’re not going to find it because no one here is happy about this. No one here wants to dig for more proof, or lack there of, to support or deny this. It’s just about whether we can get over it or not. She’ll have fans who love her for this, but most everyone here specifically seems to be of a more science-oriented mind set, so this is just upsetting to see. I think we all view Carrie, and for good reason, as highly intelligent; she has the stats to show for it. So whether she’s always truly been THIS far off and we’ve been deceived (some of us at least), or her relationship and life has lead her in this direction, it doesn’t really matter, it’s still unsettling.
She’s so fucking smart and important to me, so it feels like finding out one of my best friends is pretty much someone entirely different from who I thought they were. That’s so dramatic, I know, but as a stan this is kinda how it feels. So there.. this will most likely be my last post on this topic.

I’m here 100% for her sticking to her beliefs because she can’t win either way. I remember her being criticized in Love Wins for being too generic, and not really picking a side, and in the song itself she says everybody’s got to pick a side, it don’t matter if you’re wrong or right.
And for the record, the science is not clear on masks. The largest study that almost wasn’t published showed that masks don’t work. Only KN95 and N95 masks have efficacy, and kids en masse are not wearing those.
Cloth masks if anything show efficacy from behavioral changes and reminding us that we’re still in a pandemic.
