The last two weeks we looked at both Kelly Clarkson, and Chris Daughtry and how each of them perceived Twitter before signing up, and how they’re using it today. This week let’s take a look at Carrie Underwood’s perception of Twitter.
Carrie Underwood-
Although Twitter has been embraced by many artists worldwide, Carried perception of Twitter remains where it has been for a while. Carrie told The Boot her view in an interview posted back on October 21, 2009. Carrie said “It just sounds like organized stalking to me. I talk to my fan club members and I blog, and they know what’s going on. But as far as Twitter, I’ll be in a restaurant and I’ll get home and somebody tweeted and they talked about what I ordered and what I was wearing.” She went on to say, “It’s a wee bit of an invasion of privacy.”
Carrie’s perception of Twitter may result from her self proclaimed stubborn perception of things in life. She’s admitted to making her mind up about things and not prone to change. However, if Carrie looked at the POTENTIAL that she could use this platform for to engage her fans on HER TERMS, I think her mind would change very quickly.
Now before we go too much further, let me state this is NOT a bashing session on Carrie. Carrie is an incredible and talented artist in her own right just like the two previously mentioned artists. In fact at the point of posting this article, Carrie is currently out promoting her latest album release “Play On.” The tour is so far doing fantastic, and she has had a team behind her that comprises of some of the best in the industry. Some of her team included people like the production designer Michael Cotten who I worked with on Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for what was going to be the “This Is It” tour.
