See Carrie Underwood as 'American Idol' Contestant #14887 Nearly 20 Years After Win

Carrie Underwood shared a candid throwback photo from the day her life changed forever at her 'American Idol' audition.

On Monday, the country star, 41, took to Instagram to share the ultimate throwback photo of her from her now-unforgettable audition for the fourth season of American Idol, which aired in 2005. In the snap, the Oklahoma native is also wearing the pink shirt she was seen sporting when she serenaded the judges of that season -- Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell-- with Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" during her audition. As the famed story goes, she ended up winning the season and has since become an eight-time Grammy winner and megahit country star while joining fellow successful American Idol alumni like Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson.
