Carrie’s return to the “Idol” stage comes more than 10 years after her epic win on the show. Carrie sang her single “Inside Your Heaven” to score the most votes in America and earn the “Idol” crown. 

Carrie has definitely been busy with “Idol” related fun lately. She recently stopped by Kinky Boots on Broadway to hang out with pal David Cook.
