Not only that, she has won 8 Grammy Awards, 17 American Music Awards, 10 People's Choice Awards, and 7 Country Music Association Awards.
After the announcement of her return to the show, Uderwood expressed her enthusiasm and gratitude for the opportunity to come to her way which actually gave her fame and helped kickstart her career. "I'm proud of everything that I was able to accomplish on the show, and I'm so proud of everything that I've accomplished since," she shared.
The news of Underwood's return was announced on Good Morning America, with a special video featuring her audition journey from her hometown of Checotah, Oklahoma, to the Idol stage. Fans and industry experts are thrilled to have her as a judge alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie.
