AnAmerican Idolstar has revealed a stunning new look amid uncertainty about the judges returning for season 24.American Idolseason 23 welcomed back host Ryan Seacrest, along with judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan. In addition,season 4 winner Carrie Underwood joined the judging panelwhen Katy Perry left the show after seven seasons to focus on her own music career.
AlthoughAmerican Idolseason 23was a success, there still hasn’t been an announcement about whether the judges are returning for season 24. In fact,Carrie’s lukewarm response to the question after the finale in May had some wondering if she’d be leavingher role as a judge after just one season.

In an Instagram post,Carrieshared two photographs and a video of herself with a darker blonde hair color, and revealed that it was her natural hue.In the caption of the post she wrote,“Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old, but I thought it might be time to give it a second chance. Thanks, @hairbykatelin_ at @parlour3beauty for helping me get back to my roots! #NewOldMe #Bronde.”
In the comments of the post,Carrie’s friends and fans showered her with compliments.

What Carrie Underwood’s New Look Means
Carrie Wanted A Change
It’s exciting that Carrie made such a major change to her appearance after all of these years of fans seeing her as a blonde. Her return to her natural hair color, which she hasn’t had since she was about 12 years old, means that she wanted a change, but also wanted to stay true to who she is. IfCarrie returns forAmerican Idolseason 24,she’ll most likely come back with this new and beautiful hair color.

Carrie’s New Hair Color Could Signify A New Beginning
Although it’s not always the case, many people change their hair color when they’re ready for a new beginning in life. Perhaps Carrie’s decision to debut a new hair color signifies a fresh start for her in some aspect of her life. It’s also possible that she simply wanted a change, andshe liked the idea of her new look actually being a return to her old self.
Carrie is a stunning woman, and she looks gorgeous with any hair color.She lights up any room she’s in, and I know this firsthand because I’ve met her. She shines with an inner glow, and her new hair color enhances her beauty. I hope that Carrie returns forAmerican Idolseason 24, not because she’s pretty on the outside, but because she has a beautiful heart.
