I know Jason personally and he told me he hates her but was advised to do this per the record company
Pleeeeeeeeease.
People are so pressed. Like he would continue to invite her to sing with him and blah blah blah constantly praise her if he hates her. And like the label would pick Kelly over someone like Carrie who is already prominent in Country to record the duet with. It was kind of risky picking Kelly tbh - obviously she's a flawless singer but it's not like she was some kind of country mega star.
