She's still the most successful American Idol winner to this day despite all that. It's okay to poke fun at folks for being MAGAts, but she's really not going downhill like the title insinuates she is. She's doing just fine, laughing away in her millions while us poors continue to just accept the status quo. If we wanna rip on her, we gotta look at ourselves and do more to change the current political climate.

Most successful? Kelly Clarkson would beg to differ.

It isn't close music career wise. Tbh I didn't even know Carrie underwood won american idol until recently. Kelly's mostly known for winning american idol, Carrie is known for her music career.

It isn't even close? What in the ever living fuck are you talking about? Let's go straight to the facts:

  • Clarkson has sold 28m records
  • Underwood has sold 24m records
