Cackling at the repubs on Twitter losing it over her duet with John Legend. You truly love to see it.

Darn it Carrie you made me listen to Christmas music in September! LOL For those having issues finding the CD in stores, not surprising. When Jessica Simpson released her last Christmas CD, I couldn't find any in stores. Was told stores have greatly reduced their stock in physical CD's. Better to buy it online. Wish her Christmas special was on a bigger network than HBO. Can't watch it. Okay but Jessica Simpson does not equal Carrie Underwood.

Off topic: can you download HBO Maxx on your iPhone, which I did, then smartcast it to your tv? Thanks in advance. I just tested this for you and it worked seamlessly when I cast using my Apple TV, though I'm not sure if it works as well with other streaming hosts.

Thanks, I need an Apple TV or use an Xbox as my streaming device instead of ROKU. I’ll get the show eventually.

Will this special even reach many viewers? How many people actually have HBO max? Wish it would be on network television or ideally Netflix.

Anyone who has HBO has access to HBO Max. It will reach a lot of people, and it’s far better that she’s partnering with someone like HBO because network & cable television continue to be on a steep, stark decline universally. Streaming is the way of the future; glad she and her team are doing this. Smart & logical.

Weird cause I can get the HBO and HBO Maxx app on my iPhone but can’t smartcast it to my tv, which has HBO on my Spectrum account.

It’s an investment, but I bought an Apple TV box which basically enables me to stream anything from my phone to my TV at any time... it’s not cheap, so it’s hardly a suggestion because I know it’s not reasonable for everyone. But there’s lots of benefits to it so I’ve come to find that it was well worth it... I’m a Chicago Bears fan but I live in New England, so we don’t get to see many games on cable... With the Apple TV, I usually find a bootleg stream and then display it on my TV and it works really well.

Carrie is better off without fans such as them. Haven't they always given her a hard time, though? Aside from singing country music and being deeply religious, she isn't exactly a perfect embodiment of traditional Republican values and principles. She got a lot of flack in the beginning of her career for aligning with PETA, refusing to perform at rodeos, and condemning ag gag laws. Then she ruffled even more feathers in 2011 when she publicly spoke out in favor of same-sex marriage, which was long before it became fashionable for country singers to do so.

I only watch tv for Carrie appearances and occasionally CNN so I’m really out of touch. 😅 thanks for the insite 👍🏽 I am living in Europe, anyone know of a way to watch this?

The anti-John Legend’ers are the same ones who believe that he, Chrissy Teigen, and Hillary Clinton are collectively running an underground ring of child sex slavery inside unsuspecting pizza parlors.
I’m more curious to know about the dynamic between her & her husband, since he’s a pretty expressive tr*mp supporter, and she is not. Of course it’s none of my business, but I have to imagine that’s gotta be a pretty uniquely divided house at times...

I always wondered whether because of Mike’s outward support of Trump if she leaned left or is a republican but doesn’t support Trump.

She always says they "couldn't be more different" as people, and that it's the mutual love of their faith (and their little boys, obviously) that bonds them. I personally don't get Republican vibes from her at all, and I recall someone that posted on Carriefans back in the day that knew her family in Oklahoma, and said that they were registered Democrats.

Wow, a video about the "backlash" has now been uploaded on a pretty big YouTube channel. Very disappointing as a Carrie fan, since I know that the majority of us do NOT feel that way, but we are going to be pigeonholed as such anyway. Smh. Let's make our real feelings known.

The first three minutes he doesn't even say anything. Repeats the claim over and over and asks you to follow him on all his social media channels. Let those racist fans leave. Most Carrie fans are good (at least the ones who don't call people names) and the ones who aren't, well, this is an easy way to rid them.

In the middle of an album release week where she posted photos of her wearing masks & released a duet with John Legend, her projected numbers just trended upward. She’ll never wind up getting hurt when she does shit that pisses off tr*mpers.

I mean, when you saw the initial tracklist, didn't you know there would be a portion of the fanbase (and others that just like to be outraged in general) that would be "mad" at John being on this album? I know when I was discussing it with a friend, I told them that I give Carrie a lot of credit for having him on the album knowing how vocal he is about things, things that some take a lot of offense to. I'm honestly surprised it took this long, but then again I don't think a lot of the "fans" that are outraged are actually fans.

I’m not giving that video one single view. Just ignore and move on. It’s not worth feeding into that mess honestly...it’s what those crazies want I, myself, had those same reservations about clicking on the video initially, but then I realized that it was going to more or less rack up the same ballpark number of views regardless- and I'd rather post my own thoughts and experiences as a REAL Carrie fan to serve as a contrast from the fake ones pretending to have turned in fan cards that they never actually had just to bash her. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Let's drown out the faux-cries of the fakes and the phonies that are pretending to represent us when they are in fact just cancel culture junkies. My comment: "Carrie Underwood fans"? Those aren't her "fans" spewing that kind of nonsense, they're undercover haters that have long disliked her for a variety of other reasons, and are now championing this one as the latest cause for trying to turn public sentiment against her. By claiming to have been "fans" at first, it affords them a false sense of objectivity. I am a member of two active Carrie Underwood forums, and I can assure you that this "backlash" is NOT a thing amongst real fans. The song is in fact a fan FAVORITE, and I have not seen one person say anything remotely negative about John Legend. Move along.

Personally, I’m a veteran having served in the US army for 8 years as a staff sergeant. I was stationed in Germany, Italy, South Korea, and good ole Alabama. My father was a WWII vet, my brother served during Vietnam, my brother-in-law was a fireman in the Army as well as my half brother. When the report about Trump calling vets losers and suckers came out, even though I thought he should’ve never been elected, that was it for me. After the “debate” last night, if you have any doubts about Voting for this guy, just forget it. Jmo.

The only traditional Republican value she seems to hold is that of devout Christianity. I think it's very likely that she doesn't align herself with either political party and is more of an independent thinker.

I'm just happy she supports me. Being in the LGBTQ+ community, that's all I care about (aside from her stance on racism which I think is also very clear). Knowing that she thinks I should have the basic human right of loving who I love and being who I want to be makes me so happy because her music has quite literally saved my life multiple times.
