Carrie Underwood Set to Make History on 'American Idol'

The singer’s hiring marks the first time that an alum from the show will serve as a judge. “Well, it is 20 years since she auditioned in St. Louis for ‘American Idol,’ and to have the first ever ‘Idol’ alum on the panel has always been something that’s been interesting to me. She is our queen, she is our icon of ‘American Idol,'” executive producer Megan Wolflickrecently said. “We have been searching, you know, and obviously talking to Carrie for a little bit here. These talks have been going on for a while and we’ve been really excited to make it all happen,” she added. The new season of Idol will air in the spring of 2025. Will you tune in? Why, or why not?
