Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe Gabby Barrett | Competing, Singing, and Falling in Love on American Idol!
#914. You may think you know how American Idol works… but Gabby Barrett explains how the audition process actually goes.
This week on Off The Vine, Gabby takes us behind the scenes of Idol in a way you’ve probably never heard before — from how she was really discovered, to what happens before you ever stand in front of the judges, to competing on the show while falling for her now-husband.
After Idol, we get into the song no label wanted… before it changed her life forever and suddenly everyone started calling. We also talk about what tour life looks like with three kids, how she writes heartbreak songs from a happy marriage, and how a John Mayer quote shaped why she never reveals who her songs are about.
AND yes — there’s an embarrassingly honest confession you won’t see coming.
Trust us, this is one of the good ones ;) (get it?).
