It has been over twenty years since a shy girl from Oklahoma won American Idol. That girl was Carrie Underwood, and now she is one of the most famous people in music. She has won eight Grammy Awards and sold millions of albums worldwide. Now in 2026, she is returning to the show that started it all as a judge on American Idol.
The first episode of the new season will be aired on January 26. To promote the show, Carrie has been making sweet content with her fellow judge. She is the best pick for the judge since she once stood in the same place where other contestants will stand.
Consider this your jump into the new season. See you on January 26
People watching at home were very happy to see her back on their television screens. One fan said that Carrie is the perfect person to help new singers find their way. Another viewer wrote that the show feels special again with a past winner sitting at the table.
Being a judge is a big job, but Carrie is also busy planning for a huge outdoor concert. She is moving from the bright lights of a TV studio to the beautiful mountains of Montana. This change shows that she can do two things at once without getting tired. She is ready to trade her fancy judge outfit for a pair of cowgirl boots.
