Well Taylor was a fan of Carrie. And she always talked about Carrie in her beguinning but after Taylor´s big era with "Love story, You belogn with me" and the press start to rivalized both, Taylor start to say the Carrie was rude to her. And then in the "Red era" Taylor stop talking about Carrie like "she is not that relevant". And I´ve always thought that Carrie always said the lines about Taylor when she was hosting CMAs to carry away the rumors that they can´t stand each others. I remember Carrie saying in CMAs "give it up for Taylor who has sold 1 millions copies in a week come onn". And I was like, u are saying that to give away those rumours that u are jelous. So Carrie start to "support" Taylor in pubblic. But that didn´t stop the press.
What I always though is that Carrie was upset because she beat all this records and became the firs woman in country to music to do a lot records, and then 1, 2 years later. Taylor beat Carrie´s records. And well, we have to be honest, we were upset too because Carrie is way better but that´s other conversation. Same story as Whitney and Mariah. If u have the press all day saying that is your rival...that doesn´t help. At last Mariah and Whitney meet and become friends. But that thing didn´t happen with Taylor and Carrie. If Taylor really want to have a profesional and good relation with Carrie she would invite her to sing in her tour. Like she did with a lot stars, and also country stars.
We don´t know if it was because the press or for that "beating records thing" but...
