Fans believe that the CMT Music Awards were creating drama where it doesn't exist between singers Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood. One fan noted on Twitter that whenever an award was won by one of the stars, the cameras would pan over in an attempt to create drama.
The fan wrote, "My favorite thing about the #CMTAwards is no matter how many times Miranda Lambert wins, the production time cannot resist putting a camera on Carrie Underwood's initial reaction. I'll never understand why they do it, but I also hope they never stop doing it."
However, most fans weren't buying the idea that the two don't get along. According to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, the singers are actually good friends. The pair rose to fame around the same time, bringing them closer together.
They even once performed at the CMT Music Awards together, proving that these two work closely together and seem to get along great (via Music Mayhem Magazine).
