Christian country singer Carrie Underwood likes to have a positive outlook in life, and that is why she avoids googling herself because she knows online criticisms will only get her down.
Underwood, 32, has "learned her lesson" the hard way after she looked herself up on the Internet in the past and got heavily discouraged by online negativity, The Hamilton Spectator reported.
"I don't google myself any more. Some people can be so negative. You will have 99 percent of people being complimentary, but then you just get one meanie and it can ruin your day," she said.
Underwood speculates that online anonymity has helped people become more catty and snide, since they can get away with saying mean things without other people getting back at them for it.
"It's just so easy to be a jerk today. With social media, people can do it anonymously. They have to be overly critical. I'm just trying to do what I do and do it with integrity," she said.
Instead of googling herself, Underwood would much rather focus on her husband Mike Fisher and son Isaiah Michael, as well as her work. For now, Underwood would be releasing a brand-new album called "Storyteller." One of the songs included in the album is called "Smoke Break."
Underwood's fame in the United States has become undeniable. Her singing career has gone on an upward movement ever since she won in the talent competition "American Idol." For now, Underwood has set her sights on bringing country music to the United Kingdom.
"I feel like there is a want for country music here. There have been a lot of artists who have made the effort to come over and play, and I definitely look out in the audience and see a room full of people who know all my stuff," she said.
