Carrie Underwood just wrapped her first season as an American Idol judge, but fans are buzzing after her recent interview where she dodged questions about returning for 2026. Unlike Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, who seemed all-in, Carrie was super vague, saying she has 'lots to contemplate.' Is she already over it, or just being careful? Some think judging hit her harder than expected since she’s been in the contestants’ shoes. Would you be surprised if she left after just one season? #AmericanIdol #CarrieUnderwood #IdolDrama #Entertainment
