Rumors of friction between the artists have made headlines for years. Now, sources suggest that this long-running rivalry may be pushing her toward an ambitious comeback in another industry.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Carrie Underwood wants to relaunch her Hollywood career, says source<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/tag\/taylor-swift\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Taylor Swift\u2019s;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Taylor Swift\u2019s<\/a> high-profile movie appearances \u2014 \u201cCats\u201d in 2019 and \u201cAmsterdam\u201d in 2022 \u2014 failed to connect with critics or audiences. However, Carrie Underwood\u2019s 2021 cameo in \u201cCobra Kai\u201d was met with much enthusiasm. That contrast, according to a source, has sparked her interest in securing a larger acting role. The insider described the idea of succeeding where the pop sensation has struggled as \u201csweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Underwood has been spending more time in Los Angeles, meeting industry experts and learning the film and television landscape. She reportedly sees acting as a potential launchpad for a new chapter in her career. She is in a different phase of life, both professionally and personally, than Swift. Their differences trace back to the 35-year-old\u2019s move from country to pop \u2014 a decision the country artist allegedly felt slighted the former genre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Their opposing political stances have also widened the gap. Swift has expressed support for Kamala Harris, while Underwood performed at Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration, a moment some took as a calculated jab. On American Idol, Carrie Underwood once described a contestant as \u201cTaylor Swift-esque,\u201d which was widely read as a subtle swipe at the pop star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the CMA Awards, Underwood and Brad Paisley famously teased Swift\u2019s dating history.
