That’s right, hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood had a special segment and even song mocking the failed health care rollout that featured the pair pretending to sign up for Obamacare and then crooning about the failure.
It all started while the pair was singing a new version of “Why Can’t We Be Friends” that faked feuds between some of country music’s biggest stars (including Kenny Rogers) and Paisley stopping abruptly to complain about back pain. That’s when Underwood suggested trying to sign up for Obamacare.
“I started signing up last Thursday and I’m almost done,” she said with a fake smile. “Let’s go to the website and get you signed up.”
That elicited laughs from the crowd as the pair went and grabbed a computer.
“Why’s it spinning?” Paisley asked.
“Oh, it does that,” Underwood responded.
“Why’s it smokin’?” Paisley continued.
“Umm, I don’t know,” Underwood said, looking concerned into the camera. “Maybe we should restart it.”
From there they broke out into a spoof of George Straight’s classic “Amarillo by Morning,” instead singing “Obamacare by morning/ Why’s this taking so long?/I’m going to end up with hemorrhoids/If I sit here ’til dawn.” It continued from there, even taking a shot at the reports that only six people were able to sign up the first day.

I will agree with you on that. I was watching a show with my daughter a few years ago where Taylor was talking about a song she wrote for a high school talent show. I was kind of rolling my eyes.
She said she wanted to record it for an album but the producer didn’t like it. So she waited until her next album, when she had a little more control.
When she played it, I recognized it. And there are not too many “teeny bopper” songs this 50 year old would recognize.
It was a huge hit.
Did I mention it was for a HIGH SCHOOL Talent show? Yes, she might be a little distracted in life...but the girl has talent.
