"American Idol Season 4" champion Carrie Underwood also expressed thoughts of a possible appearance on the show's last season. Unfortunately, the country singer will be in the middle of a tour by the time the show airs so there's no confirmation yet.
"American Idol" is coming back on Fox on January 6 for its 15th and final season, Latin Post reported.
