Since her big break on American Idol when she won in 2005, Carrie Underwood has won 23 CMT Music Awards, 8 Grammys, and 16 AMC Awards. Now, American Idol fans are happily surprised since Underwood announced she will be returning to the show. Instead of going back as a guest judge, she will be a mentor for the top 5 contestants. American Idol’s Instagram post stated, “Well, here’s a dream come true! #AmericanIdol icon @carrieunderwood will mentor the Top 5. Who better to help our hopefuls earn a place in the Grand Finale?” One fan replied to Carrie’s repost with, “SO cool that you STILL give back to AI after all your success! You are the PERFECT mentor for these kids because you’ve done it all and done it all RIGHT!” Hoping to catch what Carrie Underwood is bringing to the stage?
