“She barely acknowledged the audience who kept chanting her name. The fans kept yelling ‘we love Carrie’ but she wouldn’t even turn around and wave most of the time – though she did a few times,” an insider revealed to The U.S. Sun.
“Also, Carrie rarely danced during the contestant’s performances besides nodding along and shuffling to some rock songs.”
The source further noted: “She did loosen up a bit by the end so she could’ve been nervous, especially since it was her first time judging in front of a live audience. But Lionel and Luke both had a lot more energy than Carrie did.”
