What happens when a quiet country mom from Missouri suddenly wins the biggest singing show in America? She gets thrown straight into the wild city of New York!
Just days after winning American Idol Season 24, Hannah Harper packed her bags for a whirlwind 24-hour media tour. She shared a short vlog to show fans what it looks like to become a superstar overnight.
The video starts with total chaos. Hannah is walking down the busy streets of New York City with a small team of helpers and friends. You can hear the guys in her group jokingly yelling, “Don’t!” as they try to cross the crowded streets full of fast cars.
New York In 24 Hours
Hannah laughs into the camera and admits her knees are shaking from nervous excitement. She visits massive, famous buildings like the Empire State Building and even stops to eat a giant slice of classic New York pizza!
But the most exciting stop of her entire trip was her big morning television appearance. Hannah went straight to the famous studios of Good Morning America. The TV show was broadcast live to millions of homes all across the country.
‘American Idol’ winner Hannah Harper sings ‘String Cheese’ live on ‘GMA.’
When the cameras turned on, the small-town mom stood under the bright lights and sang her world-famous song, “String Cheese.” This is the beautiful country song that Hannah wrote herself about being a mom. It is the exact same song that made the judges cry during her first audition and won the hearts of millions of voters.
Even though New York City was full of glamorous TV shows and famous celebrities, Hannah was very happy to get back on an airplane.
At the end of the video, she shows herself landing safely back home in Springfield, Missouri. She wrote a sweet note to her fans, saying she has never been so happy to see green grass, farm animals, and absolute silence. She loves the bright lights of national TV, but her favorite thing in the world is still being a mom to her sweet babies back home!
