“She’s 42. She’s not a runway model — she’s my wife, and she’s beautiful.”
The Post That Sparked the Backlash
It started innocently.
Carrie shared a few vacation photos on her Instagram Story: clear water, a quiet beach, and a sun-kissed smile.

It was short, subtle, and pure Carrie — refusing to feed the drama, yet reminding everyone what strength really looks like.
Her approach — silence with purpose — echoed her earlier comments from 2021’s Women in Country summit, when she said:
