According to the "Miss Independent" songstress, she told Underwood that she wanted to end the feud rumors by posing side by side with each other and finally have a picture together since they rarely had time to be in the same place at once. "And people always try to put it together like we're enemies. And I'm like, 'We don't even know each other well enough to be enemies.' So, anyway, I went to get a picture and then everybody lost their mind," she also said.
The 36-year-old pop-rock singer was the first grand winner of American Idol during its inaugural season in 2002, while Underwood was hailed as the champion in the same singing reality competition during its fourth season that aired in 2005 and went on to become one of the best-selling country music superstars. Both of them had chart-topping hits and won multiple Grammy Award recognitions.
Clarkson, who recently had her first victory as the winner's coach in NBC's "The Voice" season 14, also revealed previously on her Twitter account that she got a gift from Underwood when the latter send her several pieces of clothes from her fitness attire line CALIA. She also praised the line's socks collection.
