Carrie Underwood Joins Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie on the Judging Panel, Along With Host Ryan Seacrest

Season Eight Airs in 2025 on ABC and Hulu

Television’s most widely recognized music competition series, “American Idol,” welcomes season four winner and eight-time GRAMMY^® Award winner Carrie Underwood to the judging panel for season eight on ABC and Hulu. Music industry icons Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie will return for their eighth consecutive season as judges, and longtime host Ryan Seacrest also returns when the show premieres in spring 2025 for the franchise’s 23^rd overall season. Since it began airing on ABC, “American Idol” has been a top unscripted series on ABC in Total Viewers. Season to date, “American Idol” ranks as the No. 1 most social entertainment series on broadcast or cable with over 63 million total social interactions.

“This upcoming season marks 20 years since Carrie won America’s hearts on ‘Idol’ and launched her successful multi-GRAMMY Award-winning career. As a former Idol and dynamic musical force, she brings a remarkably unique perspective to one of the most popular shows on television,” said Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group. “This is a full-circle moment both for the show and audiences at home who have been tuning in for over two decades. Welcome home, Carrie.”

“Carrie Underwood is the first ‘American Idol’ alum ever to join the judging panel. Her global superstar status as the most successful ‘Idol’ winner to date makes her a perfect fit for the show. She embodies the true spirit of ‘Idol’ as she herself is the definition of the Cinderella story. Our future hopefuls will have the chance to receive advice from someone who has walked in their exact footsteps every step of the way. Carrie has always been a strong supporter of ‘Idol,’ and I’m thrilled for her to be reunited with our ‘Idol’ Family,” said Megan Wolflick, showrunner and executive producer of “American Idol.”

Season eight auditions will kick off Monday, Aug. 12, with the return of “Idol Across America,” the live virtual nationwide search for the next superstar, taking place across all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.

Underwood Added 2^nd Show to First Hawaii Engagement After Selling Out 1^st Show in Under One Hour

Superstar Made History as First Artist Honored Concurrently By State of Hawaii and City of Honolulu, Governor and Mayor Proclaim July 18 as “CARRIE UNDERWOOD DAY”

Hi-Res Images & Video Recap

8-time Grammy winner Carrie Underwood wrapped her first-ever concert appearances in Hawaii with two sold-out shows at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena on July 19 and 20, marking the 50^th state she has performed in.  Due to extraordinary demand, Underwood added the second show at Blaisdell Arena back in March after selling out the first in under one hour, joining Garth Brooks as the only two country artists to sell out the venue that quickly.

To kick things off, on the eve of her concerts, the Honorable Rick Blangiardi, Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, and Governor Josh Green proclaimed July 18 “Carrie Underwood Day,” where she was presented with ceremonial proclamations in recognition of her incredible career achievements, significant cultural and societal contributions, and her first-ever performances in Hawaii.  Underwood is the first country artist to receive this honor from the State of Hawaii and the City and County of Honolulu.  It is the first time in the history of the Aloha State that both have been bestowed upon an entertainer in any genre concurrently by those government entities. 

Underwood wowed the sold-out, standing-room-only crowds at both back-to-back nights at the Blaisdell Arena with her incredible vocal prowess and her spectacular, high-energy performances.  The setlist highlighted her stellar catalogue, with the audiences singing along to every word from such #1 hits as “Jesus, Take The Wheel,” “Before He Cheats,” and “Blown Away,” to songs from her latest album, Denim & Rhinestones, and everything in-between.  Across both nights Underwood also covered Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock ‘N Roll,” Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” and Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”

Another highlight of both evenings was when she brought a young girl from the audience to join her on stage each night to sing her #1 hit, “All-American Girl” – bringing back a fan-favorite moment from Underwood’s earlier tours.

Underwood posted more highlights of her trip to Hawaii on Instagram, enjoying everything the beautiful island had to offer.

Later this summer, Underwood resumes her ongoing REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency, which continues to play to packed houses, with tickets currently on sale through October.

Governor Josh Green and Mayor Rick Blangiardi
Issue Proclamations Declaring July 18, 2024

“CARRIE UNDERWOOD DAY”

In Both the State of Hawaii and the City & County of Honolulu, Marking the First Time An Artist has Received These Honors From Both Levels of Government in the Aloha State

Today, 8-time Grammy Award winner Carrie Underwood added a new and historic first to her list of accolades when both James Tokioka, Director of the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, on behalf of Governor Green and the Honorable Rick Blangiardi, Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, presented her with ceremonial proclamations declaring July 18th, 2024, as “Carrie Underwood Day.”

The proclamations were issued in recognition of Underwood’s incredible career achievements, significant cultural and societal contributions, and her first-ever performances in Hawaiʻi on July 19 and 20, 2024. Never in the history of the Aloha State have ceremonial proclamations been issued concurrently by the state of Hawai’i and the city and county of Honolulu to honor an entertainer.

Concert promoter Rick Bartalini said: “History has been made with Carrie becoming the first artist to receive ceremonial proclamations from both the state and city.  She is in prestigious company of entertainers that have been previously honored by either the Mayor or the Governor in this manner, including Elvis Presley, Janet Jackson, Bruno Mars, and Diana Ross.”

Both proclamations were presented to Underwood at an official ceremony today at the Blaisdell Arena by Rick Blangiardi, Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu and Director James Tokioka, on behalf of Governor Josh Green. The proclamation presented by Mayor Blangiardi highlighted Underwood’s career achievements and her embodiment of the Aloha Spirit, stating in part:

“With heartfelt aloha, we thank her for bringing her live show to Hawai‘i and fulfilling the dreams of thousands of fans who have eagerly awaited this opportunity. Carrie Underwood embodies the aloha spirit through her talent, love, and genuine care and compassion for others.”

The state proclamation issued by Governor Josh Green and presented by James Tokioka, made special note of Underwood’s societal and cultural contributions, stating in part:

“Your music, your kindness, your remarkable journey, and your unwavering dedication to making the world a better place have touched countless hearts here in Hawai’i. We are truly blessed to have you bring your extraordinary live experience to the people of Hawai’i for the very first time. Your presence is a gift, and we embrace you with open arms and warm aloha.”

Due to extraordinary demand, Underwood added a second show at Blaisdell Arena back in March after selling out the first in under one hour.
