American Idol season 22 winner Abi Carter has been very busy since she was crowned the champion of the reality singing competition series in May 2024. Abi, a 21-year-old musician from Indio, California, made history during American Idol season 22 as the first platinum ticket recipient ever to win the show. During her audition, she wowed the judges–Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan–with her extraordinary rendition of “What Was I Made For?” by Billie Eilish. Abi went on to win American Idol season 22, defeating runner-up Will Moseley and third-place finisher Jack Blocker during the season finale.
