Carrie Underwood announces surprise duet with chart-topping country singer

As I delve into the role of a judge on American Idol, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement, much like the feeling I get when I step onto the stage with my guitar in hand. You see, I was once a contestant on this very show, and it feels surreal to now be standing on the other side of the table.


Carrie Underwood has revealed her next collaboration and it will surely send country fans wild.

Supporters of the 41-year-old American Idol judge were taken aback when it became known that she would be teaming up with Cody Johnson.

On Wednesday, a 37-year-old Texan posted pictures on Instagram of the forthcoming music video for their eagerly awaited song called “I’m Gonna Love You.

He titled the gallery for his 1.8 million followers as: ‘Excited to share that “I’m Gonna Love You” will be released next Friday, September 27th. A big thank you goes out to @carrieunderwood for collaborating on this song and making it truly memorable. Can’t wait for all of you to listen to it!’

Carrie appeared otherworldly, donning a delicate white lace gown and stylish black leather boots featuring intricate silver accents throughout.

She wore a big, brown belt encircling her dress, adorned with silver and turquoise details. Additionally, she accessorized with several necklaces that complemented the theme.

She wore her distinctive golden hair, parted down the middle, while highlighting her authentic appearance with harmonious makeup and a glossy lipstick.

Cody opted for a straightforward style, donning a denim jacket and jeans of the same shade, paired with a crisp white shirt. He added a touch of western flair with brown cowboy boots and a hat to complete his ensemble.

A few days back, Carrie disclosed her style as an American Idol judge – twenty years since she first shone as a star on the show.

In 2005, the star gained widespread recognition by winning the fourth season of a popular reality competition show.

20 years later, she will be coming back to the series for its 23rd season in 2025, taking her place on a judging panel alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.

Instead of Katy Perry, someone else is now assuming the role she held for seven years on American Idol, as Katy announced her exit from the show earlier in the year.

Currently, Carrie has discussed her expectations regarding her role as a judge, during a chat held at Resorts World in Las Vegas with SiriusXM.

As a multitalented artist, I pride myself on my adaptability. With my diverse background in various musical genres, I strive to approach each audition with an open mind, equipped to assess the candidate through whatever lens best suits the genre at hand.

The singer behind Before He Cheats remarked: “I believe I can be truthful, helpful, and yet compassionate, and I think that’s exactly what it’s all about.

Carrie observed that as people enter, they become a part of someone’s tale, their arrival marking the start of their role in another person’s dream.

She continued by saying, “I believe both honesty and kindness are crucial. My goal is to find a balance between the two, aiming to be an impartial judge who combines these qualities effectively.

Carrie is taking over the role that Katy Perry initially filled on American Idol back in 2017, rumored to have received an impressive $25 million per season.

Previously, Katy faced a lot of criticism and accusations of ‘bullying’ online due to her sharp comments towards contestants during live broadcasts last year.

According to an exclusive report from DailyMail.com, it was previously revealed that she was considering leaving the ABC reality show due to a belief that producers had unfairly portrayed her as a harsh judge and left her in a negative light.

In the wake of online disputes that erupted some months ago, it was disclosed by Katy in February on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that she plans to depart from the show following its season 22.

When it was revealed that Carrie would take over from Katy, Lionel expressed his excitement by praising her, stating she would make an excellent judge given her background as a previous contestant on the program.

‘Now we don’t have to explain anymore: “We know how you feel.” As artists, we know how you feel, but we’ve never been in that oval that says, American Idol. She’s been there, done that,’ the crooner explained to E! News.

In the summer of 2004, I had the incredible opportunity to compete on American Idol, following my powerful audition in August. I chose to perform Bonnie Raitt’s poignant tune “I Can’t Make You Love Me.

In the subsequent year, people all over the U.S. developed a fond affection for Carrie, as she climbed up the ladder of success on American Idol and ultimately emerged victorious during that season.

During that period, Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul served as judges, whereas Ryan Seacrest maintained his role as host, which he still holds today.

Afterwards, she achieved immense success in the country music scene, earning a remarkable total of 25 CMT Music Awards – a number that sets her apart. She’s frequently mentioned alongside Kelly Clarkson as one of the rare American Idol contestants who have maintained an illustrious career in the A-list category post-competition.
