I'm so glad Kelly and Carrie were pictured together on the Disney red carpet. Two immensely talented, successful women from the same show -- loved it. The fact that Carrie's monetary success was achieved in country music (without crossovers to Pop) is amazing. So difficult for women in country as opposed to Pop.
