Carrie Underwood has just wrapped up her first season as a judge on American Idol.

As a former winner, she has a unique perspective on what it takes to turn that win into a huge success. When Jamal Roberts was named the winner during the Season 23 finale on Sunday, Carrie had a very simple message for him. "I got to tell him afterwards, I was like, 'Now go do great things,'" she told Extra TV after the finale. This season was not only her first as judge, it also marked the 20th anniversary since she won the show. There's no word on whether Carrie will be back as a judge for the next season.
