Is Justin Timberlake going to give an "American Idol" winner a prime opening slot on his tour this year? According to "Idol" star Phillip Phillips, an offer has been extended!
"I'm healthy — healthy as a horse… as long as the horse is healthy," Phillips shared in a recent interview with Billboard. "I'm playing a bunch of colleges, playing Rock in Rio in September – opening up for John Mayer, Bruce Springsteen, and Justin Timberlake — and have some more stuff planned."
While it's unclear if Phillips will be on the road with Justin for days, weeks or months, he could be part of what is shaping up to be a planned solo trek, following the already announced "Suit & Tie" tour with Jay-Z.
Dates are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
American Idol winner, Maddie Poppe, has been tapped to join Justin Timberlake on his upcoming tour. This announcement comes as no surprise given her impressive track record in the music industry. With a career that’s already taken off and an undying passion for singing, it’s clear why she was chosen by one of today’s biggest pop icons. Fans are excited to see what this dynamic duo will bring to the stage!
The 20-year old singer is from Clarksville, Iowa and first rose to fame after winning American Idol season 16 in 2018. Since then, she’s released multiple singles including “Going Going Gone” and “Made You Miss” which have both charted nationally in the US. She recently wrapped up her own international tour where she performed songs from her debut album ‘Whirlwind.’
Maddie Poppe now joins other iconic singers such as Jay Z and Ciara who have opened for Justin Timberlake over the years. The anticipation is high to see how these two artists collaborate; fans can expect a night full of stunning vocals with plenty of surprises along the way!
