American Idol fans couldn’t handle their emotions after a viral video teased the legendary return of Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood—not as a contestant, but as a judge. Nearly two decades after her life-changing victory, the country queen is set to grace the panel alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, marking a full-circle moment that fans can’t stop buzzing about.
Carrie will reportedly rake in a cool $12 million for her judging debut, a modest sum compared to Katy Perry’s $25 million paycheck before she bowed out last year after a seven-season run. In a heartstring-tugging promo, ABC unveiled a clip showcasing Carrie’s journey—from her fresh-faced audition to winning it all and, now, claiming her spot as a judge.
Social media exploded with fans’ enthusiasm, with one user declaring, ‘Aww, 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 proclaimed, ‘That’s our girl!’.
