She posted a photo of her taken shortly after she was announced as the winner 10 years ago alongside a message that read, "So hard to believe it's been 10 years! I'm forever grateful to American Idol for changing my life! #blessed."
Following her "Idol" victory, Underwood went on to become one of the biggest country acts in the industry. Her debut album, "Some Hearts", was released in 2005 and spawned several hit singles including "Jesus Take the Wheel" which earned her a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
During her 10-year career, Underwood has collected seven Grammys, 17 Billboard Music Awards and 11 Academy of Country Music Awards among others. She got married to NHL player Mike Fisher in 2010 and welcomed their first child, a son named Isaiah, earlier this year.
Underwood's celebration came while "American Idol" is preparing its 15th and final season. The show will end its run next year with current judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. returning.
