Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan and Tim McGraw were among the artists who appeared to read online insults about themselves on live TV. While Underwood wasn’t even sure what her tweet was trying to say, some of the other performers were hit with more brutal remarks. Rascal Flatts laughed off a request for the band to stop making music while Florida Georgia Line received a unique snub: “I would rather listen to the sound of my grandpa eating a nectarine for 3:30 than listen to a Florida Georgia Line song.” However, it was Willie Nelson who seemed to take his tweet most in stride. After reading a post stating that the 82-year-old singer being alive is proof that marijuana works wonders, Nelson responded, “You got it.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4101349/country-music-stars-mean-tweets-carrie-underwood/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4101349/country-music-stars-mean-tweets-carrie-underwood/"},"headline":"Watch Carrie Underwood and Other Country Music Stars Read Mean Tweets About Themselves","datePublished":"2015-11-05T15:48:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:38.605Z","description":"\"You ever gotten so drunk you said a Luke Bryan song actually wasn't that bad?\"","url":"https://time.com/4101349/country-music-stars-mean-tweets-carrie-underwood/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Music","Jimmy Kimmel","TV","country music","jimmy kimmel live"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4101349/country-music-stars-mean-tweets-carrie-underwood/","name":"Watch Carrie Underwood and Other Country Music Stars Read Mean Tweets About Themselves"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The 2015 CMAs Hosts Didn’t Hold Back — See The Highlights","description":"The 2015 CMAs were all about famous splits, heartwarming speeches and everything Justin Timberlake — here are our favorite moments of the night.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/FFtFervm/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-11-05T13:13:03.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/FFtFervm.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4101349/country-music-stars-mean-tweets-carrie-underwood/","duration":"PT1M48S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4101349/country-music-stars-mean-tweets-carrie-underwood/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
