Carrie Underwood Shares Clever Way To Handle Online Negativity

During a recent episode of American Idol, judge Carrie Underwood let one of the contestants — and the rest of the world — in on a little secret.

She shared how she keeps negative comments on social media from bothering her.

Getting mean comments from internet trolls isn't a problem exclusive to superstardom. But with more than 13 million followers on Instagram alone, Underwood's had to deal with more than her fair share of social media users criticizing every little thing she posts.r reading their comments.

"I want to tell you all an important trick. It's called the Post and Ghost," she said from her judging podium. "You put your stuff out on the social media, and you don't look at the comments."

It's a strategy that a lot of stars recommend, but few have come up with as clever a name for the method as Underwood's "Post and Ghost."

"That's how I live my life, man," she goes on to say. "And anytime anybody thinks they're yelling at me, or insulting me, or telling me I look a certain way, or I'm not enough of this or I'm too much of that — they just yelling at the clouds.

"I don't hear or see any of it," Underwood adds.
