Things almost came full circle for Carrie Underwood, who was slated to perform for the latest season finale of American Idol. Such sweet poetry was not to be had, however, due to the pandemic, which recently hit Underwood's team and derailed plans for this Sunday. The season finale of American Idol aired on May 22. One of the anticipated special performers for the occasion was Underwood, a lineup made especially powerful considering her 2005 victory in the fourth season of the show. This win elevated her to unprecedented prominence. Fans, however, were heartbroken to learn this reunion was not to be.
