Having long been a staple of the country music scene, Carrie Underwood is now contemplating taking her career in a different direction - from traditional country to pop - with hopes of mirroring the success of one of her contemporaries, Taylor Swift.

Rumor has it that she is entertaining the idea of a musical shift, and this news has caused panic amongst industry executives who stand to lose an incredibly lucrative artist.

It has been whispered that Carrie has considered switching musical genres, leaving some of the most prominent figures in country music worried they will lose a very lucrative source of income.

Carrie Underwood appears inspired by Taylor Swift's success, as reported by the National Enquirer.

A pal of Carrie has divulged that despite being a successful country music star, she yearns to take on the rock 'n' roll scene in her heart of hearts.

However, those within the industry are fervently hoping that she refrains from making such a move.

The success of Taylor's career leaped to unprecedented levels when she left the world of country music.

Her "The Eras" Tour, which was nearly a decade in the making, made history and earned an astounding amount of money for the superstar performer.

In mid-August, the presence of Taylor Swift was enough to cause fear among guests at the wedding of Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley. Jack is a producer, friend, and fellow musician of Taylor, so it should be no surprise that her fame caused such a reaction.

When news of Taylor's presence reached eager fans, pandemonium ensued at New Jersey's concert venue.

Hundreds of fans congregated, and police had to be summoned to keep order. It was indeed a Beatle-mania moment.
