If there's feud going on between Oklahoma's Carrie Underwood and Nashville's Taylor Swift, someone forgot to tell Underwood.
The Checotah native said "no" to reports a feud exists between the two music superstars during an interview with Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” Monday.
"No, not that I know of at least," said Underwood, who won her sixth Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance for "Blown Away" and the song, penned by Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins, won Best Country Song at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
Asked how the idea of a feud got started, Underwood had a quick answer.
She said every magazine, newspaper or TV show "can get away with it by saying a source said or an insider said," she offered. "I've read the most ridiculous things about myself when people do that."
Last Friday, usmagazine.com, citing an insider source, reported Grammy executives were directed to keep the 23-year-old Swift and the 29-year-old Underwood from running into to each other on the awards show. A representative from the Grammys reportedly told the website that no such request was made by either artist.
Asked her favorite Swift song, Underwood named "Trouble."
"It sounded a lot different for her," she said in the interview. "I really like the kind of branching out."
