Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson were all smiles as they staged a mini-American Idol winners reunion at the 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards on Friday night (June 22).
The superstars greeted each other with delight on the red carpet, posing for photographers at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles as part of the events surrounding the awards. The 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles Friday night, and both former Idol champs were among the honorees. Underwood was on hand to accept the Hero Award, while Clarkson won the Icon Award. Click through the gallery above to see the singers cutting up together.
Clarkson rocketed to superstardom after winning the first-ever season of American Idol in 2002, and Underwood launched her career when she won the fourth season in 2005, making her the first country music champion from the show. After an entertainment website asked readers to vote on which one was the most iconic Idol winner of all time in April, the singers exchanged mutual admiration tweets, with Underwood saying she wished "more publications would just celebrate women’s success without pitting them against each other."
