Carrie Underwood: Fame Makes Dating Harder
By Cassandra Zink

Although former American Idol sensation Carrie Underwood has become one of the country music's biggest stars, fame has its downside – especially when it comes to dating, she says.

"You never really know why somebody wants to be around you, or if they do genuinely like you," Underwood, 25, tells Allure magazine in the September issue. "I wish everyone had a label on their forehead so you could automatically tell their intentions. Sometimes you just wish that no one wanted anything from you."

The star, who earlier this year was inducted into Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, recalls a time soon after her success on Idol when a guy who'd ignored her in college – clearly enamored by her newfound success – called saying that "he wanted to explain."

Fame hasn't helped create lasting relationships for her either. Earlier this year, Underwood split from Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford via text-messages. "We didn't have a fight. No one cheated," she clarifies. "It plain didn't work."

As for Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo, who now is dating Jessica Simpson, Underwood says she still hears from him sometimes – but doesn't always pick up the phone. "We were both small town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame," says the singer who claims the relationship wasn't serious. And now? "I don't know. The phone will ring and it'll be him, and I'll maybe not answer."

Some of her reservations about opening up to people seem to stem from an old flame who cheater on her. "I don't want to name names, even though he probably deserves it, but he fooled around," she tells the magazine. "Oh, yeah, and lied! It was one of those things that everyone knew but me. He was a good liar. Nobody would come out and tell me. And he seemed perfect in every way."

Added the singer: "I'm sure we've all run into these people, whether they're friends, boyfriends or girlfriends."

It's a great picture on the cover! The article seems to be things we've all heard before. In a way I wish that they wouldn't rehash old interviews, for some people I am sure that it seems like Carrie talks about her relationships alot (which she doesn't).

The quote about Tony calling is interesting. I think it must be difficult for his current girlfriend to hear that he is calling Carrie. Think about it if the roles were reversed, what would we think if Carrie's boyfriend was calling his ex girlfriend and sometimes she picked up and sometimes she didn't! I guess I just wish that Carrie could get more magazine covers that talked about her music or other aspects of her life other than her dating.

It sells magazines.

The whole Romo thing is getting very old. He should just propose to JS and get it over with. They're a perfect couple, they deserve each other.

I'm sure Carrie will eventually find someone that is a cool dude.

Well, I feel for Carrie. Dating's hard, being famous only makes that worse.

I just wish that the magazines would move past the Carrie/Tony/Jessica story. I mean, really. It's old news. I think it's interesting that he still calls her, but I can't blame him, if you had dated someone like Carrie, wouldn't you want to keep in touch too?

I'm hoping that was just a small snippet of the interview, and they discuss other, more relevant stuff....like, you know, her music.

If those people around her knew that guy was cheating on her and were her friends, they sure are lousy friends for not saying anything.
