Despite the enthusiastic reception, the source noted that the songstress seemed “tense” and “serious” while fulfilling her judging duties.
“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.”
