Concerned “friends” are reportedly airing their thoughts this fall ahead of Carrie Underwood’s arrival on American Idol. While many people were sad to hear of former judge Katy Perry’s departure, lots of Idol fans are here for Carrie becoming a judge – after all, who better to be on the panel than someone who won the show?
American Idol season 23 is set to air in 2025. While fans eagerly anticipate the talent show’s arrival, some people are said to be expressing “fears” over Carrie Underwood’s marriage. The country singer feels like she’s “going home” as she takes up the judging gig, but the job is actually taking her thousands of miles from her real home.
Carrie Underwood takes over from Katy Perry on American Idol
Almost 20 years ago, Carrie Underwood’s life changed forever when she won American Idol.
Now, she’s returning to the ABC show as a judge, filling the shoes of long-running panelist and mentor Katy Perry.
Carrie tells Good Morning America how the gig “feels like going home to her,” reports ABC.
She joins Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan on the judging panel.
American Idol is miles away from home
While landing the American Idol gig is likely a dream job for Carrie, the role takes her 2000 miles from her home and family.
Filming for American Idol takes place in LA while Carrie and her loved ones have a home in Nashville, around 2000 miles away.
Despite the distance, the singer dispels any doubts fans may have surrounding how she’ll manage.
According to OK! Magazine, Carrie’s husband, Mike Fisher will “hold down the fort” with their two sons. Per the outlet’s insiders, the couple’s “friends worry about how they’re going to keep it together.”
But, apparently, Carrie “wishes people would stop worrying.”
The insider says: “Long distance is always a challenge, but Carrie says their faith in marriage and in God is stronger than anything…”
