In come the awards
After winning the fourth season of American Idol by a landslide, Carrie would go on to build a name for herself in the music industry. Throughout her career, she would win 15 AMAs, 11 Grammys, and take home 11 Billboard Music Awards. The only question was whether or not she would have enough space in her home for all of the trophies and plaques.

Carrie would release her first Christmas album in the fall of 2020 titled My Gift. Her seventh album featured legendary music artist John Legend in the song Hallelujah. She even let sang alongside Isaiah in their mom-and-son take on the classic The Little Drummer Boy.
