Abi Carter, a 21-year-old aspiring singer, has harbored a lifelong dream of winning the prestigious competition, American Idol. Despite becoming a fan-favorite on the show, she couldn’t fathom the idea of actually achieving her dream. It may come as a surprise to fans, given the overwhelming praise she received from all three judges during her audition. Abi delivered a stunning rendition of Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For,” leaving the judges in awe.
Even when Abi made it to the top three, she never expected to win. Surprisingly, she was completely fine with that and believed that just reaching that stage was already a remarkable achievement. So, when they announced her as the winner of the 22nd season of “American Idol,” she was overwhelmed with joy and couldn’t help but collapse in disbelief!
Abi shares that she was surprised to hear her name called as the winner instead of the expected runner-up, Will Moseley. She admits that it was a scenario she hadn’t anticipated beforehand.
Abi Carter Still Can’t Believe She Won American Idol
Will may be disappointed by the loss, but there are no hard feelings between him and Abi. Surprisingly, their friendship seems to have remained intact even after the show ended. Abi even shared a heartwarming photo of the two of them enjoying breakfast together after the season finale.
After experiencing the wildest night of our lives, we indulged in a delightful airport breakfast. Abi excitedly shares, “New York, here we come! See you soon!”
Abi, still basking in the glow of her incredible victory, is already envisioning her bright future in the music industry. With a record deal and a whopping $125,000 prize awaiting her, she is ready to take the next steps towards her musical dreams.
“When entering this career, the most challenging aspect is the desire to please everyone,” she explains. “In the past, I have written songs with the intention of creating something popular. However, moving forward, I aim to align myself more authentically with my artistry and use music as a form of therapy, rather than solely focusing on popularity.”
