Carrie Underwood to Perform Live on Tuesday’s Show

Season 4 American Idol winner, four-time Grammy winner, and 2009 ACM Entertainer of the Year Carrie Underwood will return to the Idol stage on Tuesday, May 19 to perform this year’s farewell song, “Home Sweet Home,” live. Carrie, 19 Recordings, Sony Music Nashville, and iTunes are donating a portion of the sales proceeds of the “Home Sweet Home” digital single to The Humane Society of the United States. These donations will be used directly for programs that help companion animals, provide spay/neuter services, and rescue and shelter animal victims of puppy mills and disasters.

Also, tune into the TV Guide Network on Saturday, May 30th for the “American Idol Rewind: Carrie Underwood Special.” For the first time ever, experience Carrie’s entire Idol journey- from her first audition in St. Louis to the moment she was crowned Season 4’s American Idol. Through exclusive clips and interviews, find out what inspired the girl from rural Checotah, OK to audition for American Idol. It wasn’t always an easy journey for Carrie. She hit a rough patch during Hollywood week, but eventually Simon predicted that “…not only will you win this show, you will sell more records than any previous Idol winner.” And he was correct!

Carrie Underwood’s time on American Idol was the foundation for what was to come- 2 albums, 4 Grammys, and 11 million records sold.
