James Corden infused a little “American Idol” into his popular “Carpool Karaoke” recurring segment, welcoming Carrie Underwood to Wednesday’s show.

The duo belted out some of her country hits during the morning drive, had a note-holding contest, and even went shopping for cowboy boots. It was in the themed retail store that we learned exactly how much more money Underwood makes than Corden.

Back in the car, Carrie talked about her love life a bit. The “Late Late Show” host asked the singer-strummer if she fears for husband Mike Fisher in his dangerous pro hockey career.

“Have you seen his latest fight? He knocked a guy’s tooth out,” Underwood boasted. “It was pretty hot.”

Afterward, Corden teased Underwood with a literal interpretation of her song “Jesus Take the Wheel.” It’s unclear if the son of God found Fisher’s aforementioned right hook as arousing.

The CBS host and his Range Rover shotgun guest closed the morning commute with a little Wham singalong, as one does.

“We are awesome,” Underwood concluded.

"American Idol" returns on March 11, and we couldn't be more excited. That's because it's the rare reality show that has actually produced some bona fide pop stars, hit-makers and even an Oscar winner. Whoever wins has a tough road getting there, and an even tougher climb up this ladder of the highest "Idol" alumni in album sales.
Carrie Underwood - 16.3 million albums sold in the U.S.

Underwood is the only solo country music star to have a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and 14 No. 1 hits on Billboard's country charts. Her last album, "Storyteller," came out in 2015, so by the time her next one drops, her lead may go up yet again.

Kelly Clarkson - 14.2 million albums sold in the U.S.

Don't credit Clarkson with the head start just because she was the very first "Idol" winner. She's had five albums go platinum in her career. Her latest album, "Meaning of Life," arrived in October of 2017.

Chris Daughtry - 7.35 million albums sold in the U.S.
