I don't know what would make an artist do that. You're not an artist." Miranda Tweeted Monday, writing, "Thanks Eric Church for saying I'm not a real artist. Or @kelly_clarkson, @carrieunderwood & @KeithUrban. Blake also tweeted about the controversial interview, writing simply, "I wish I misunderstood this."

"We don't have a bowling alley in our basement. We don't have houses on the beach and one in New York and one in L.A. I drive a 3-year-old Ford Escape Hybrid. We don't care about stuff like that."

The grand prize is a recording contract on Hollywood Records.
