Carrie Underwood announced a major career move as American Idol Season 24 prepares to launch. According to American Songwriter and The Express, the country music superstar was revealed as the Saturday headliner for the Wildlands Music Festival in Big Sky, Montana, scheduled for July 31 through August 1. The festival lineup also includes Riley Green, LeAnn Rimes, and Kaitlin Butts. Tickets went on sale on January 22, just days before Underwood resumes her role as a judge on American Idol alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, with Ryan Seacrest returning as host. This announcement came during a particularly busy period for the 42-year-old artist. American Idol Season 24 premiered on January 26, marking Underwood's continued presence on the judging panel, a position she assumed in 2024 after replacing Katy Perry. According to The Express, Underwood has become known for her honest and sometimes harsh critiques, drawing from her own experience as the Season 4 winner back in 2005. Beyond her television commitments, Underwood has been reflecting on her journey. Entertainment Now reported that the artist shared reflections on her American Idol performances through an "Idol to Icon" video series released in early 2025. In these clips, she recalled competing on the show, including her standout rendition of Heart's "Alone," which earned praise from judges and notably prompted Simon Cowell to predict she would not only win the competition but sell more albums than any other American Idol winner. Her Las Vegas residency continues to be a significant part of her schedule. According to multiple sources, Underwood has been performing her REFLECTION residency, which has contributed substantially to her reported net worth of approximately 120 to 140 million dollars. Her income streams include her music catalog, touring revenue reportedly exceeding 200 million dollars across her career, her Sunday Night Football theme performance contract, brand partnerships, her Fit52 fitness app, and her bestselling book Find Your Path. The Wildlands Music Festival appearance represents another addition to Underwood's packed schedule, with organizers noting that proceeds benefit conservation efforts protecting Yellowstone and surrounding areas. Last year, the festival raised 1.3 million dollars for charity. Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
