Underwood, who was crowned the winner herself back in 2005, made her debut as a judge on Season 23 of Idol this year. While the singer's new role sparked intense public interest, she wasn't the only star fans had their eye on this season — 22-year-old contestant Baylee Littrell immediately captured viewers' attention, not just for his own talent, but because he is the son of Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell.
Therefore, when asked by Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet if Brian would be "mad" at her for eliminating his son, Underwood was honest.

"My American Idol journey has come to an end?," he captioned the Tuesday, April 22 post, which featured photos of him performing on the show. "Thank you so much to all that supported me this season?? I love you all ?? #idol #bayleetrain."
“Bubba I am and always will be in your corner. You are so strong and so very talented, and inspire me every day," the "I Want It That Way" artist shared. It’s never the end, only the beginning for so many to be blessed by your gifts….. you killed it last night. ?❤️."
