Happy 10-year anniversary Mrs. Carrie Underwood!
It has been a decade since the 32-year-old country singer kicked started her career on "American Idol," and the Oklahoma native is celebrating by reliving the emotional moment with her fans via Instagram.
"So hard to believe it's been 10 years! I'm forever grateful to American Idol for changing my life! #blessed," Underwood wrote in her post recalling that life-changing moment.
The caption was accompanied by a photograph of the singer on the "American Idol" stage moments after she was crowned the winner beating out finalist Bo Bice. The photo showed a younger Underwood in a low-cut, leopard spot print dress and long blonde hair.
Needless to say, Underwood has come so far since her "American Idol" days, earning 17 Billboard awards and seven Grammys for hits like "Jesus Take the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats."
The singer released her debut album "Some Hearts" in 2005 and last year released Greatest Hits: Decade #1, an album filled with all of her No. 1 hits during her career. Underwood continues to be successful with hits like "Something in the Water" and her recent duet, "Somethin' Bad," with fellow country star Miranda Lambert.
Her personal life isn't that bad either.
In 2010, Underwood married NHL star Mike Fisher, and the couple welcomed their first baby, a boy named Isaiah Michael Fisher, on February 27. The "Last Name" singer revealed the news on Instagram on March 3 with a cute snap of the baby's tiny hand and a second photo of her newborn holding a hockey stick.
Unfortunately, the show that launched Underwood's career will be going off the air next year. FOX network confirmed that "American Idol" would be ending after the upcoming season, which kicks off next January. The show has struggled with viewership over the years.
