Country music superstar Carrie Underwood is returning to Rupp Arena, her first trip back to the Bluegrass since 2010.

Underwood teased the tour on Sunday night’s episode of “American Idol.” Underwood was crowned the winner of season four in 2005.

Since then, she’s won eight Grammys, 16 AMC Awards, including for three Entertainer of the Year, and 23 CMT Music Awards with hits such as “Before He Cheats.”

Underwood will release a new album, “Denim & Rhinestones,” on June 10. Her 43-city tour kicks off on Oct. 15 in Greenville, S.C. She is in residency in Las Vegas through May 21 at Resorts World Theatre.

Underwood played Rupp Arena in 2008 with Keith Urban and headlined in 2010.
