But now Carrie, 42, has seemingly fled to a secluded Nashville compound to getaway from the drama.
Taking to her Instagram page this week, mere days after the Top 3 Idol contestants were revealed, Carrie shared snaps from her getaway.
She uploaded a snap of a goat and a picture of the lake.
Alongside the first photo, which was of the goat, she wrote: “Oh hi.”
Meanwhile, alongside the snap of the lake, she wrote: “Jake and I played in the creek yesterday.
“Found all sorts of things.”
Disney Night continued for a second night on American Idol on Monday, after Sunday saw two acts axed.
A further two singers were then booted off the show and out of the Top 5, with the final three – who will battle it out in the final – revealed.
Breanna Nix, Jamal Roberts and Slater Nalley made it into the Top 3, with one of the trio issued some “harsh” critique by judge Carrie, which left fans fuming and calling for her axe.
CARRIE’S HARSH CRITIQUE
Jamal, 27, performed Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s hit Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, but Carrie had a major complaint about his stage presence.
“I feel like you missed such an opportunity to move around and entertain,” she said after failing to give him a standing ovation despite fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie doing so.
“We are getting close to the end here, it is time to pull out all the stops.
“And we know you have that in you. So like pull us all in not just with your voice but everything else going on.
“Put 100% of yourself into it. Let’s go,” she added.

NOT FIRST CHOICE
This comes after The U.S. Sun revealed that the decision was “not unanimous” to have Carrie take the place of Katy Perry when she stepped onto the panel at the start of the season.
According to a production insider, Carrie was “not the network’s first pick to be a judge this season.”
“They spoke with a handful of other A-list artists in pop and country before landing on Carrie.
“It was not a unanimous decision,” the insider added.
Not only this, The U.S. Sun also revealed that the American Idol crew thinks Carrie’s “influence” is “ruining” the show’s legacy.
