It’s been 17 years since Carrie Underwood was named winner of “American Idol” and she marked the occasion this week by sharing a page from her journal, written at the time of her win.
“Today is the 17 year anniversary of my @americanidol win! Where does the time go?,” she writes. “Please enjoy a page from the journal of a 22-year-old farm girl who just had the most incredible night! I still feel the excitement through the pages!,” adding, “Happy anniversary to me and a forever “thank you” to all who voted! ☺️”
The page details Carrie’s thoughts as she was about to win the talent competition. “It came down to the final moment," she wrote. "Ryan had the gold card in his hand. Oh year, I forgot to mention that they presented us with keys to 2 identical red convertible 2005 Mustangs! How cool is that?"
She adds, "Anyways, back to the story," noting, "Big moment. I took one more look at the amazing crowd and let it sink in for a few seconds. Ryan said something like 'And your 2005 American Idol is...' My heart heart beat fast and I closed my eyes. CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!!" Check it out below:
