Carrie Underwood, who just completed her first stint as a judge on American Idol, named a new addition after the winner of Season 23 on ABC. Read on to see some cute photos.

The Cute Addition

On Thursday this week, Carrie took to her Instagram account and shared a very cute reel and some photos that she took on the farm. She and a certain sheep both seemed thrilled to meet the newest little lamb. In her caption, Katy Perry’s replacement revealed why she named the baby after the latest winner of the talent show.

Underwood, who briefly seemed unhappy as a judge, decided to honor the show because her baby arrived on the night of the finale. So, in her caption, she wrote, “Surprise! We’ve got another new life around the farm! This little guy happened to be born on the day of the @americanidol finale, so we figured it would only be right if we named him Jamal!!”

Additionally, the winner of Season 4 added, “Mama and Baby J are doing well…and I’m popping by the barn to get snuggles every chance I get! Welcome to the world, little dude!”

Fans React To The Baby

ABC fans were very happy when Jamal Roberts won the show with his soulful singing. He beat out Breanna Nix and Country Singer John Foster. Many people think that he’ll go far, and they also have similar sentiments about the new lamb. Lambs, after all, seldom live long and happy lives.

One follower commented. “Is there anything on this earth sweeter than a new baby lamb… I think not.” 

Others agreed, although some of them thought the lamb was a baby girl. Here are a few more reactions from the discussion area of Carrie Underwood’s post:

Awww! What a wonderful tribute to Jamal!
Oh my stars! I want one so bad! What a doll baby!
That is awesome Carrie! I know Jamal is honored you named your lamb for him!
Carrie this is too cute!
My day has been made!!!! @carrieunderwood, please stay on @americanidol, you are such a blessing to the show and us viewers

Will Carrie Return To The Show?

It’s not clear whether Carrie Underwood will opt to do more seasons of the talent show. After all, some people gave her a difficult time. Others boycotted it because of her political stance. However, there is some hope for her fans. The Sun US reported that the executives will probably decide in the next month or so. However, it will be her choice whether she accepts the offer.
