Carrie Underwood has a few choice words for celebrities who toot their horn in support of political candidates.

“I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate,” the multiplatinum-selling singer says in the new issue of TV Guide, on newsstands November 6.

“It’s saying that the American public isn’t smart enough to make their own decisions,” Carrie explains. “I would never want anybody to vote for anything or anybody just because I told them to. Music is where you go to get away from all the BS. Whether it’s from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape.”

Do you agree with Carrie’s position on celebrity political endorsments?
