Bryan, who is a judge on the show alongside Underwood, expressed his joy in a TikTok clip, highlighting the significance of the moment.
Why It Matters
The sing-along not only showcases Underwood’s enduring popularity but also reflects the show’s evolving format, which this year features a single round of performances during Hollywood Week, described as the biggest cut in the show’s history.
