Maddie Poppe Announced as RDMA 2018 Performer After American Idol Win

Maddie Poppe is just living her best life right now.

Almost immediately after winning the latest season of American Idol, the 20-year-old musician was announced as a performer for the upcoming 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards!

And after a mini-press tour in New York City where she appeared on Live! with Kelly and Ryan and Good Morning America, Maddie had some time to reflect on her win on Instagram.

“I don’t even know what to say. I couldn’t have dreamt of a more perfect night,” Maddie starts off. “Thank you to all of America for believing in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. A year ago I was lost and uncertain how I would be able to make this happen for myself. I cried and worried and wondered if this dream would ever pan out for me.”

She adds, “So many times I contemplated giving up, but at the last second my saving grace came through when @americanidol dropped into my life. Not only has this show given me a platform to build my career on, but it has given me countless lifelong friends who I’ll love and cherish forever.”

Maddie also gave a sweet shoutout to boyfriend, and runner-up, Caleb Lee Hutchinson.

“This guy captured my heart from the start and showed me what love truly means,” Maddie says. “I’ve never cared for or adored another person so much, @calebleemusic you mean so much to me and I’m so blessed to be able to have had you alongside me throughout this journey and hopefully for many more moons to come, xo.”
