ABC just dropped a sneak peek at the new and improved American Idol lineup, and it’s as spicy as a Nashville hot chicken sandwich!

The big news? Carrie Underwood is stepping into the spotlight as the newest judge, boot-scootin’ her way into Katy Perry’s vacated throne. That’s right, Katy’s hung up her eccentric wigs and left the building, leaving Carrie to join Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, who’ve been holding down the fort since ABC decided to reboot the show in 2018 (because apparently, every good thing deserves a reboot, even Idol).

And let’s not forget the king of perpetual energy drinks, Ryan Seacrest, who’s back again as the host. Honestly, is Ryan even human? At this point, he’s been on TV more than commercials about car insurance.

To celebrate this chaotic-but-awesome panel, ABC released a first-look photo of them all cheesing for the cameras, and because that’s not enough, they dragged them out for a press appearance in New York City. Yep, Ryan, Carrie, Luke, and Lionel strutted their stuff like they were on a red carpet for a country-pop crossover album release. The pictures from the event? Priceless. Think of it like a family photo, but with more sequins and cowboy boots.

Mark your calendars, because the new season of American Idol is coming in 2025, which gives you plenty of time to work on your vocal chops. Who knows? Maybe this is your year to impress Carrie Underwood with your rendition of “Before He Cheats.” (Spoiler: She probably won’t be as impressed if you key her truck, though.)
