Carrie's first trip back to the Idol studio was an unforgettable one as she premiered her debut single, "Jesus, Take the Wheel" – a song that has made almost as many appearances on the show as the season four winner.
Season six's top sixteen got an early taste of stardom when Carrie came by to perform her number one country hit "Wasted".
Carrie's season six finale number was her moving cover of The Pretenders' "I'll Stand by You," an encore performance from a month earlier when she sang the same song with Kelly Clarkson and Rascal Flatts.
For the season seven finale, a svelte Carrie took the Nokia Theatre stage for a rousing rendition of "Last Name," off her second album, Carnival Ride.
Ready to rock in skintight leather pants and a to-die-for half vest, Carrie performed "Undo It" from her third album, Play On, during the season nine finale. The song was written by Carrie with Kara DioGuardi.
Bookending the final two performances on season eight was Carrie's cover of the Motley Crue ballad "Home Sweet Home," which also served as the elimination song for that year.
