Carrie Underwood, the Season 4 winner of American Idol, is returning to the show as a judge. Fans are excited about this full-circle moment for the country music star.
American Idol fans were overwhelmed with emotion after a viral video hinted at the legendary return of Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood . However, she won't be competing; instead, she'll be joining Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan on the judging panel. Almost two decades after her groundbreaking victory, the country music star is returning to the show that launched her career. This full-circle moment has fans buzzing with excitement.
Carrie is reportedly earning $12 million for her debut as a judge, a smaller sum compared to Katy Perry's $25 million salary before she left last year after a seven-season run. In a heartwarming promo, ABC released a clip highlighting Carrie's journey from her initial audition to her triumphant win and now, her new role as a judge. Social media erupted with fans' enthusiastic reactions, with one user expressing, 'This gives me chills and made me want to cry. This is so awesome! I always voted for Carrie, and now look at her!' Another proudly stated, 'That's our girl!' Host Ryan Seacrest, who famously announced Carrie Underwood as the winner back in Season 4, 2005, couldn't contain his excitement about her return. Sharing throwback photos from that historic moment, he wrote, 'It's a full-circle moment to go from announcing you as the winner of @americanidol 20 years ago to now welcoming you to the judge’s table.
