Carrie Underwood is a vegetarian and she is not keen on revealing that information.
"I'm a vegetarian and there are some parts of the United States where you do not announce that to the audience. And while the crowd might be kind of playing with me, sometimes if I do let that slip, I do get booed. So it's something I'm working on-keeping me vegetarianism to myself."
Who cares if they boo you? You should be proud of our choices and stand by them!
