‘American Idol’ Fans Coming Back Because Of Carrie Underwood

American Idol has a long history, and many people continue to tune into the show simply for the nostalgia factor. However, with the new season premiering soon, many fans are not hiding the fact that they are coming back to the show to see Carrie Underwood return as a judge. So, what are viewers saying?
American Idol Coming Back With All-New Season
A new season of American Idol will soon premiere. Many viewers have been watching this reality singing competition since it first premiered in the early 2000s, and in many ways, there is a loyal fanbase that continues to catch new seasons when they air.
There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the popular show when Katy Perry made the announcement that she would be leaving the judging panel to focus on her own music. This left a lot of uncertainty, as many people wondered who would take over her chair the following season. As American Idol fans eventually found out, Carrie Underwood would be returning to the show that put her on the map, but this time, as a judge.
Carrie Underwood Stepping Into New Role As A Judge
Of course, with Carrie Underwood making her return as a judge, producers felt that Underwood jeopardized the new season when she decided to perform for Donald Trump. However, even after that, and even after some backlash, it looks like the opposite is true.
With the new season of American Idol set to premiere on March 9 on ABC, countless viewers are ready to see Carrie Underwood step into her new role as a judge, as she will be joined by Ryan Seacrest, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie.
In a recent promo on social media teasing the upcoming season, Carrie talks about what she is most excited about as a new judge, which is getting to be a part of someone’s story. Along with the teaser clip, the caption reads: “Carrie is ready to help these Idol hopefuls write their story 🥺 A new season begins March 9 on ABC and Stream on Hulu.”

Carrie Underwood herself has talked about the full circle moment of coming back to American Idol as a judge, a completely new perspective since she won her season two decades ago.

Producers hoped that bringing Carrie back would have this effect, and it seems to already be paying off in a big way.
