Carrie Underwood, 'X Factor' Judge?

Could Carrie Underwood be following in the footsteps of Blake Shelton and Keith Urban by heading to a reality TV talent show? Perhaps! The country music superstar, who got her start by winning Season 4 of "American Idol" in 2005, hints she might consider a role reversal. The Oklahoma native reveals that she wouldn't be opposed to being a judge on another talent show, "X Factor," which was created by former "Idol" judge Simon Cowell.

"I'd never say never," she divulges to Glamour magazine (quote via PressParty.com). "I think I could do things in a very constructive way. But those initial auditions, where you have to say no or tell someone to stop? I don't know if I could do that."

The songstress is singing a different tune from a year ago, when she said she'd be hesitant to be the one calling the shots. "I don't think I could do that," she told Digital Spy when asked if she'd ever consider being an "X Factor" judge. "Judging -- that would be a really tough job to have because there would be instances where you would have to tell somebody that their dream shouldn't be their dream and that would be really hard."

For now, the 29-year-old is focusing on her Blown Away tour, while also eying a few musical collaborations. "I love Jessie J, she's fearless," Carrie gushes. "Coldplay. Adele, of course. I'm up for anything."

Carrie's Blown Away tour, which includes Hunter Hayes as her opening act, plays in California and New Mexico this week, before she heads overseas for a series of shows in Ireland and Great Britain. See a list of her upcoming concerts here.

She should be a judge. There should be at least one lesbian or gay-rights activist
on every reality show!

I was at her concert in Dallas AAC Center, and it was packed. Her concerts are fantastic. The critic in Oakland has an agenda. Carrie is the best.

I think sitting next to Simon would turn her to tears.
She's not a bully like he is!
But she would be a good choice.
Both Brittney and Demi weren't worth the paper they used to signt their contracts.

Those days of Loretta Young and Tammy Wynett are over.
Carrie has the most beautiful voice ever. Listen to her on this video with Vince Gill then tell me this girl isn't country!

Taylor proved she couldn't sing when she tried singing wit Stevie Nicks on the awards show.
