Today Cry Pretty hitmaker Carrie took to Instagram to unveil a new look after swapping her trademark bleach blond hair for her natural colour.

The country music legend shared a series of smiley selfies showing her rocking a warmer ‘bronde’ tone styled in loose waves.

Carrie, who shares sons Isaiah, nine, and Jacob, five, with her ex-professional ice hockey player husband Mike Fisher, said: “Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old.

“But I thought it might be time to give it a second chance. Thanks, @hairbykatelin_ at @parlour3beauty for helping me get back to my roots!”

It comes after Carrie’s fellow Idol judge and country star Luke Bryan hinted that she will return for the next series of the competition.
