American Idol viewers will see a few changes when the show returns next month. Katy Perry exited last season, and while some hoped Jelly Roll would be sitting at the judges’ table, that isn’t the case.

Two of the busiest men in showbiz are back together and loving it! Jelly Roll picked up Ryan Seacrest and twirled him around in the air to celebrate becoming American Idol's first Artist in Residence.

American Idol' host Ryan Seacrest and new judge Carrie Underwood surprised Filo, a 2025 contestant, with a Platinum Ticket on TV before the season 23 premiere.

The popular singing competition is back with a familiar face, as former winner Carrie Underwood swaps the mic for the judge's chair.

Jelly Roll will be the "artist-in-residence" for American Idol's 23rd season, multiplying how Nashville's country music industry impacts the program.

Country superstar Jelly Roll will mentor contestants starting during Hollywood Week. “Honored to be Idol’s first-ever Artist in Residence - mentoring with heart, soul and real experience,” Jelly said on social media.

Disney/Eric McCandless The search for a brand-new American Idol is about to begin. Season 23 of ABC's singing competition show is returning this March with season 4 winner Carrie Underwood serving as a judge for the very first time.
