- Underwood argued that performing an original song was a missed opportunity, referencing her February 16, 2026 tweet about frequently being booed during Hollywood Week.
- On camera, Bryan praised and defended Underwood, referencing her Season 4 win while supporting her during the performance.

- Underwood's profile matters because she joined the American Idol judging panel in 2025 and has sold over 22.5 million albums, despite past backlash for her 2025 presidential inauguration performance.
