“Country music royalty and American Idol alumna Carrie Underwood has long been a standard-bearer for talented vocalists, but it turns out she might have broken the law during her very first audition. In a stunning revelation, a former American Idol judge is now speaking out about a shocking incident that could have potentially derailed Underwood’s path to stardom – and we’re about to take a closer look at the controversy that may have gone unnoticed for years.”
Carrie Underwood’s Unconventional Coaching
Carrie Underwood went all-in on the latest episode of American Idol on Sunday night (March 23). She was doing everything she could to help contestant Sophia Humbert finesse a rendition of “Before He Cheats.”
“Before He Cheats” Audition: A Lesson in Rage
“You have a great voice. I feel like a song like that though, there has to be a little rage in there somewhere,” Underwood told the budding singer after she finished. “Do you get angry? You gotta dig down deep,” she asked Humbert, who seemed nervous.
Fellow Idol judge Luke Bryan had an idea to help her find her rage: The whole crew would take a drive somewhere outside, where they could beat the daylights out of an old red pickup truck. Don’t worry: Everyone wore safety goggles.
Watch below as Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” comes on and Underwood herself steps up and keys the biscuits out of the truck while the contestant sings. As the part of the song about taking a Louisville Slugger to the headlights comes on, the contestant does just that while singing, taking a bat to the vehicle as the judges are cheering her on.
Destroying a Pickup Truck: A TV-Approved Felony?
After the audition, Lionel Richie, Bryan, Underwood, and even Ryan Seacrest got to take turns destroying the old truck with a bat — many felonies to be had, if this were not a television show.

Sophia Humbert’s American Idol Audition: A Nervous Start
Sophia Humbert’s American Idol audition was a nervous start, but with Carrie Underwood’s unconventional coaching, she was able to find her rage and deliver a powerful performance.
Finding Rage and Getting a Ticket to Hollywood
In the end, Humbert was given a ticket to Hollywood — we will be seeing more of her as the reality competition progresses.
Underwood teased what was to come in an Instagram Reel posted before the show aired. It looked familiar. The superstar was standing in front of that red truck, prepared to key the side of it.
“Guess what I’m doing? I’m digging my key into the side of this pretty little souped up … you gotta tune to figure out what’s going on,” Underwood remarked.
Carrie Underwood: A Superstar’s Morning Routine
Carrie Underwood is one of the busiest women in all of entertainment, but her little “trick” for saving time and giving herself a boost in the morning is not for the faint of heart. During a recent episode of American Idol, Underwood told her fellow judges about her morning hack, where she takes her boiling coffee and cracks an egg into it … and then drinks it all down.
You know if Luke Bryan thinks a drink is pretty stiff, it has to be stout. I am always looking for a little extra boost in the morning. As a father of two little kids — and hosting a morning radio show every day — any extra gas in the tank is always a welcomed addition. So I grabbed a cup of hot coffee, a fresh egg out of the fridge and decided to try Underwood’s cowboy coffee hack for myself.
A Morning Boost for the Wild Ones: Trying Carrie’s Hack
Now I have tried a lot of different funky foods — like the time I tried George Strait’s hangover cure soup, Menudo — but this one is up there on the funky scale. Maybe it is because Carrie Underwood has her own farm fresh chickens, or maybe it’s the fact that I think coffee tastes like sock water, but this drink is not to be tried by the tame-hearted. This is a morning boost for the wild ones in a rush. That will never be me.
