Carrie Underwood 'American Idol' boos spark firestorm, fans clash over MAGA and 'right side of history' claims

Carrie Underwood faced unexpected backlash during a recent "American Idol" moment, igniting a social media firestorm over politics and being "on the right side of history."

On Monday, the 42-year-old "American Idol" judge revealed on X, formerly Twitter, that she had received a less than warm reception from the audience during the long-running reality competition show's Hollywood Week.

"Spoiler alert…I get booed A LOT from our Hollywood Week audience," Underwood wrote, adding a flushed face emoji and tagging the show.
