But during her first judging stint, Carrie was brought to tears when Breanna Nix performed one of her hits.
Breanna, 25, appeared on the show when she walked into the audition room with her young son Emerson.
Emerson sat on Carrie’s lap while stay-at-home mom Breanna performed with her husband Austin, who played the piano.
Breanna spoke about her weight loss journey ahead of her performance, with her keen to let her son know that chasing dreams can pay off.
The blond beauty then performed Carrie’s song, Jesus, Take The Wheel, as Emerson sat on the new judge’s lap and they watched Breanna croon the emotional song.
As Breanna sang, Carrie could be seen getting emotional as Emerson fell asleep due to his mom’s soothing vocals.
Carrie then sniffled as she teared up, saying: “I’m sorry, he’s just so adorable and sweet.”
Breaking her silence about the emotional moment she had on the show, Carrie said on X: “I had a hard time going back and forth between talking to Emerson and the adults.
“Sorry you got the baby talk @breannanixmusic ! What a great audition!!! Such a beautiful family!”
Carrie was making her first appearance on the show after replacing singer Katy Perry on the judging panel.
Meanwhile, show host Ryan Seacrest couldn’t contain his emotions either.

Viewers reacted to the emotional rendition, too.
“OMG! Jesus Take The Wheel. I’m not crying, you’re crying,” penned one.
