Carrie also connected with a big player in her “American Idol” success at the show. Former “Idol” judge Paula Abdul is touring with NKOTB, so Carrie and Paula posed for this adorable photo backstage at the concert.

Carrie wasn’t the only country star in the house for the NKOTB show. Big & Rich also made a surprise appearance performing with the guys, and Reba McEntire was spotted watching the show from the audience, too.
