Carrie Underwood is finally back on stage in Las Vegas! Her residency in Las Vegas has started back up again after a brief hiatus, and fans could not be more excited for the “Reflection” content to be back. As the start date drew nearer, it seems as if Carrie got a little sentimental, and posted a throwback picture from over 20 years ago, when she first auditioned for American Idol. Fans of course ate this up, filling the comment sections with well wishes and compliments. Keep reading for more details.
The throwback picture in question shows a young Carrie Underwood smiling at the camera with a flip phone pressed to her ear, presumably calling a loved one to share the great news: She’d received her golden ticket to Hollywood, and would be auditioning for American Idol!
In the photo, she’s wearing a bright pink short-sleeved shirt that’s mostly hidden from view by the big yellow piece of paper she’s holding, with the number 14887 written in big letters. Her blonde, curly hair falls just to her shoulders—she looks as cute as a button!
“REFLECTION of the week:” Underwood captioned the photo, which now has over 120,000 likes. “Contestant number #14887 received her golden ticket to Hollywood! I can’t believe it has been almost 20 years since auditioning for @AmericanIdol! #ReflectionOfTheWeek!”
