Today we will discuss Carrie Underwood’s childhood, how she became famous, and what she has accomplished during her career.

We have no idea what actually happened between her and Katy Perry. I didn’t realize you had to live and breathe feminist ideology and get along with every woman on earth. She and Nicki Minaj get along fine, Nicki herself has said how much she loves her. Beyonce and Jay Z are her friends. Yes, she’s said some things that sounded entitled. SHE APOLOGIZED. SHE ADMITTED SHE WAS WRONG. Yes, she’s written songs with homophobic (one song, from her first album when she was 16) and slut-shaming lyrics, but she hasn’t released a song like that in over 5 years and has apologized many times for all of it. Yes, she said there’s “special place in hell for women who don’t help other women” because Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made a comment while hosting an award show. Yes, it was a joke. Taylor could have ignored it or responded better to it, but it happened to be during the height of her media scrutiny and she was just fucking tired of people making jokes. How would you feel if every news outlet was making you out to be some psycho serial dater? You’d probably say something you shouldn’t have either. PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. SHE’S A HUMAN BEING, and she’s not perfect. Also, PEOPLE CHANGE. People learn. 5 years ago I thought slut shaming was okay. I was racist and homophobic. Now I KNOW BETTER, and I can guarantee Taylor does too, otherwise she wouldn’t have admitted she was wrong. She identifies as a feminist. She supports equality for all people. That’s what feminism is. She’s extremely influential to girls all over the world. There are probably girls out there who are identify as feminists now only because Taylor Swift does. It encouraged them to be as well. She tells her fans that they’re beautiful because all people are beautiful and that they are not defined by someone else’s opinion of them. She has

Even though she didn't know who I was… I was still so excited that I got the opportunity!"( Beyonce). Her career began as a child and from there she blossomed into a woman that would change the music scene forever. An amazing human being was taken from this world way too soon, but she was an unforgettable talent that had accepted who she was, and represented
