Watch highlights from Hannah Harper's performance in Hartford, along with Brad Paisley's heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton.

Harper, a native of Willow Springs, Missouri, was crowned the 2026 American Idol winner in May, making history as the first female country artist to win the competition since Carrie Underwood in 2005. During her American Idol journey, she gained widespread attention for her original song "String Cheese," a deeply personal song inspired by motherhood.

Raised in a bluegrass-gospel family and formerly a stay-at-home mother of three, Hannah Harper has quickly transformed her American Idol victory into a growing national music career. Her String Cheese Tour is scheduled to visit 20 cities across the Midwest and South through November 2026.
