American Idol season 23’s newest judge Carrie Underwood is revealed to have some exciting hidden talents during a preview clip from the next episode of the long-running reality TV singing competition, even amid signs her judging style isn’t fit for the show.

Shown in the clip dancing alongside someone who appears to be well versed in clog dancing, Carrie seems like a natural even though she doesn’t quite know the steps. Laughing alongside her fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie, Carrie jokingly shares that she’s “been around so much clogging” in her life. “@carrieunderwood the clogger 🤩🙌 Ya never know what’ll happen on IDOL,” the post’s caption reads, leaving many excited to see the audition.
