Carrie Underwood is headed back to American Idol, but not as a contestant…she’s their newest judge!
Can you believe it’s been almost 20 years since Carrie Underwood won season 4 in 2005? And now you’ll see her on the judges panel on season 23 next year alongside Lionel and Luke.
She has been on the show a few times as a guest mentor so she definitely has experience, not to mention her years of performing and touring.
Ever since Katy Perry announced she was leaving American Idol after season 22, we’ve been wondering who was going to replace her and we think Carrie Underwood is an amazing choice!
