Other female stars bond with Swift

After a photo appeared of
Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and
Kellie Pickler together at a Nashville Predators game, some people told Taylor that they were surprised that the trio would be friends.
Taylor says there's a perception that women performers must be jealous of each other. "People were shocked when they saw three girls who do the same thing as a career and we are friends," she said.
Proving her point, a stranger stopped by our Bricktop's table at lunch on Wednesday and told her how
Shania Twain is "coming back" and how it would make a certain other female superstar jealous — a ludicrous accusation that Taylor firmly dismissed.
The reality is, Taylor says, the other female stars have been generous and supportive.
Faith Hill has wholeheartedly embraced Taylor,
Reba McEntire has sent her encouraging notes and
Kellie and Carrie offer the teen advice on all sorts of things.
"They try to provoke you with catfight questions," she said of the media. "You know, 'You're nipping at Carrie Underwood's heels.'
"Carrie is my role model," said Taylor, who is up for Best New Artist at the Feb. 10 Grammys, an award Carrie won last year. "That girl has done so much to prove what females in country music can do. Just from knowing her, she'll never say a bad thing about anybody ever, even if somebody has said something bad about her. She'll never say something catty, and it's really cool. It makes me want to be that way too."
