Carrie Underwood to Lead American Idol Web Series Idol to Icon

Carrie Underwood is set to launch a web series titled 'Idol to Icon' on YouTube starting March 4, which will accompany Season 23 of 'American Idol.' The series will provide an intimate look at her journey from contestant to judge, with each episode corresponding to the progression of the current season. Underwood, who is replacing Katy Perry on the judging panel, will share personal insights, including diary entries from her time on the show, as well as fashion highlights and behind-the-scenes moments. While many fans are excited about her return, some have expressed dissatisfaction due to her performance at Donald Trump's inauguration. The new season of 'American Idol' premieres on ABC on March 9, following a special preview on March 2. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Underwood's breakthrough as the show's fourth-season winner in 2005.
