Carrie Underwood didn’t seem to find Luke Bryan’s joke about Aaron Rodgers very funny. During the 2021 CMA Awards on Wednesday night, Bryan, who was hosting the show, made a joke about the Green Bay Packers quarterback who infamously stated he was ‘immunized’ before we all found out that he lied about taking the vaccine.
“Rest assured we’re following all the health protocols to keep everyone safe. And it’s so great to be here with all my fellow artists, tested and together… or immunized?” Bryan joked, calling out the term Rodgers had previously used when asked about his vaccination status. “Just playing.”
After the joke, cameras cut right to Underwood, who did not crack a smile and gave a vicious side-eye.
Rodgers later revealed he was not vaccinated, and has since been fined $14,650 by the NFL for breach of COVID-19 protocols.
Underwood’s husband, Mike Fisher, publicly spoke out in support of Rodgers not being vaccinated.
“I stand with @aaronrodgers12. I believe in the freedom to choose what we put in our bodies and the freedom of conscience,” Fisher said on Instagram. “It’s time to fight for our medical freedom and I feel for those that have been fired for choosing medical freedom. People losing their jobs over a medical choice is un-American and unacceptable. We need to stand up now before it’s too late!! #medicalfreedom #istandwithaaronrodgers.”

Underwood has not spoken out and likely will not since she is the face of Sunday Night Football for the ninth consecutive season. A new intro video for “Waiting All Day For Sunday Night” debuted during the Sept. 12 broadcast of the Los Angeles Rams’ 34-14 victory over the Chicago Bears.
Neither Underwood nor Fisher have said whether or not they’re vaccinated themselves.
