Overview
- Carrie Underwood appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Jan. 23 with fellow American Idol judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan to promote Season 24.
- General Hospital actress Nancy Lee Grahn posted on Threads, "See ya next week @jimmykimmel. I refuse to even look at @carrieunderwood."
- Kathy Griffin and other Threads users backed Grahn’s stance, using labels like "MAGA Carrie" and urging boycotts of Underwood’s appearances.
- After headlines framed her post as a slam on the host, Grahn clarified that she loves Kimmel’s show and that her objection was solely to Underwood.
- Underwood’s perceived politics trace in part to her singing "America the Beautiful" at President Trump’s 2025 inauguration, though she has said she tries to keep politics private.
