Harper Reflects on One-Year Anniversary of Her Viral ‘American Idol’ Audition
On October 29, Harper shared an emotional post reflecting on the first anniversary of when she auditioned on “American Idol” in front of judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Carrie Underwood. It was a moment that would ultimately change her life. Her audition featured an original song titled “String Cheese,” which quickly went viral and helped her become an early fan favorite throughout the competition.
Harper shared photos of herself holding her golden ticket to Hollywood, writing, “One year ago today. 🥹 I stood outside the Fisher Center at Belmont University absolutely SHAKING. Partly because I was freezing to death, but mostly because I was nervous as all get-out. 😂”
In her caption, she reflected on never having sung without her family band, but “God had other plans,” when all three judges sent her to Hollywood after an amazing audition that even left Underwood in tears. Harper went on to thank all the people who supported her throughout her Idol journey and shared all the incredible milestones she had accomplished since winning, including her successful and long-running “String Cheese Tour.”
“A year ago, I wondered how I’d make it through one audition. Today, I’m looking back at a year full of answered prayers I didn’t even know to pray. And we’re just getting started. 🤍,” she added.
