Carrie—who’s previously appeared as guest mentor on the show—officially joins the team 19 years after winning the competition herself, beating out Bo Bice for the American Idol title during season four in 2005.

“I learned a lot, I learned an insane amount,” she told the Must Watch Show in May 2022. “And so much of that is still applied today, it still holds true to what I do now. It was star boot camp and I was trying to soak in as much as I possibly could and, obviously, it launched my career.”
