Carrie Underwood first stood on the American Idol stage twenty-one years ago as a shy girl from a farm. Now she is returning as a judge for Season 24 starting January 26, 2026. It is rare to see a superstar act like a normal person, but a new video shows she is just like us. She is even joking about being very bad at finding her way around the big TV set.
The BTS look shows that Carrie is the heart of the show. She is not just a famous singer who acts like a big celebrity, she is a person who laughs at her own mistakes, just like any one of us.
Just some American Idol bloopers to make your day a little better
Fans love her energy. One viewer said that Carrie is exactly what the show needed to feel fresh again. Another person noted that her smile makes the whole room feel bright. Everyone seems to agree that her friendship with the other judges is genuine.
The fun does not stop with just a few jokes on the stage. The show creators shared another short clip that shows even more chaotic moments with the crew. It is a big change from the serious competition we usually see on TV. This second part of the story shows that Carrie can handle anything, even when things go wrong or get a little bit spooky.
We are learning so much
In this part, Carrie walks through a hall of fame and sees a statue of Clay Aiken. She screams when the statue suddenly moves and talks to her. She even has a very clunky and weird high-five with Lionel Richie that makes her laugh.
Carrie Underwood has come a long way from being a contestant to becoming a global legend. She still has that same kind spirit that made the world fall in love with her years ago. You can see her journey continue on ABC and Hulu very soon. Follow Carrie Underwood on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
