Carrie Underwood has already had a lot of memorable moments on the newest season of American Idol, and while her style choices might have fans going wild, some aren’t too pleased with her judging decisions.

The “Before He Cheats” singer recently stunned in a bedazzled black pantsuit during a recent episode of the singing competition series. However, during that same episode, which happened to be the start of the series’s famous Hollywood Week, the live audience ended up ‘booing’ her. Not only did she have to defend herself from the crowd during the episode, but later on, her social media profiles as well. Read more about her outfit and the viral episode below.

Carrie Underwood Stuns In A Bedazzled Pantsuit On 'American Idol'

The current season of the infamous competition series is fully underway, and has reached a whole new era as the remaining contestants have finished their auditions and 'made it to Hollywood.'

 

For the start of the Hollywood week episodes, the show actually filmed in Nashville for the first time, doing a "Music City takeover." Given she's one of the biggest names in country music right now, Carrie wore a standout outfit to celebrate the exciting episode. She wore a sparkling, bedazzled pantsuit that was black and covered in shiny embellishments.

 

The pantsuit consisted of a tailored blazer and matching pants, and she kept it simple, not wearing any noticeable layers underneath to allow the suit to do all the talking. She tied her famous blonde, curly hair up into a high ponytail, and she had on some dangling diamond earrings. You can see a full shot of her outfit here!

Carrie Defends Herself Against Audience Members Who 'Booed' Her

The episode was quite an eventful one, as not only were tensions high to see which singers would be making it onto the next rounds of the show, but there were also many audience members who disagreed with the mom-of-two's critiques as an official judge.

 

For instance, at one point, a singer named Mor decided to perform an original song without the use of a professional band on stage, which Carrie thought was a "missed opportunity." Before she said her comments, she had a feeling what was coming, and defended herself against the rowdy crowd.

 

"I feel you guys are gonna boo me," she said to the audience, as reported by People. "It's coming — just bring it on. I love it. Your boos are feeding me."

 

We'll be curious to see how the country superstar fares with the crowds for the rest of the season, but for now, it looks like neither she nor the loyal viewers is afraid to share their opinions.
