At the end of the promo video, she says, \"This show is for people that have the talent, have the dream, and they just need a chance.\"

Underwood was the winner of \"American Idol\" in 2005, during the show's fourth season.

In August 2024, it was announced that she'll be joining Bryan and Richie as a judge on season 23 of the singing competition show, as Katy Perry's replacement.

\"I went from nobody knowing my name to tens of millions of people watching the show,\" she said in a video at the time when the announcement was made. \"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.\"
