Fans are looking forward to music superstar Carrie Underwood returning to "American Idol," this time as a judge.

American Idol judge Luke Bryan exclusively told E! News at the CMA Awards in Nashville about his advice for his new costar Carrie Underwood, who he says is doing a “great job.”

The 49-year-old TV mogul has made it his mission to ensure the songbird's days on the singing competition series go smooth as silk.

Earlier this year, Luke Bryan shared another lighthearted piece of advice for Carrie Underwood during an August interview with Seattle radio host Gabe Mercer. The two judges’ playful dynamic was evident when Bryan joked, “Up her therapist.”

When American Idol returns for its eighth season on ABC this March, there will be a new configuration of judges taking part in the search for the next singing sensation. Replacing Katy Perry will be Carrie Underwood, who won the fourth season of Idol in 2005, and has become the most successful winner to date.

Luke Bryan has some wise words for Carrie Underwood. On Wednesday, Nov. 20, the "Kick the Dust Up" singer revealed the piece of advice he gave Underwood ahead of her first-ever season as a judge on American Idol.

Luke Bryan was one of the many country music luminaries at Wednesday night's CMA Awards, where he revealed the recent advice he offered to Carrie Underwood .
