At 18, Lauren Alaina has already released a debut album ('Wildflower') and is working on a followup. Despite having a successful career and achieving considerable fame, the Season 10 'American Idol' runner-up celebrated a huge milestone in her life on Friday (May 31) -- she graduated high school!
Fast-rising country star Lauren Alaina returned to the stage of 'American Idol' on Thursday (May 9), performing her new single 'Barefoot and Buck Wild' from her forthcoming second album.
If there are two things we know about contestants that go deep into their seasons of 'American Idol,' it's that they tend to enjoy incredibly successful careers even if they lose the top prize, and they always, always return to the show to perform.
'American Idol' runner-up Lauren Alaina saw her life change in drastic ways after Season 10 wrapped up. While the 18-year-old high school senior and 'Georgia Peaches' singer strives to have a 'normal' life, it can be challenging to find a significant other who understands the life of a musician. Alaina recently dished on her new boyfriend and how he fits into her jam-packed life.
This year, ring in the New Year right with a little bit of country music! Lauren Alaina will kick off the festivities on Fox’s ‘American Country New Year’s Eve Live’ special, which will air at 11PM ET on Dec. 31.

Lauren Alaina has been pretty open mouth about her weight loss achievement since dropping 25 pounds, and understandably, she likes to show off her hard work. The Georgia singer hit the red carpet on Nov. 14 to flaunt her hot new look at this week’s ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ premiere in Los Angeles in a mini dress and heels.
A lot has changed since 16-year-old Lauren Alaina first entered the ‘American Idol‘ race in early 2011. Not only is she now a country music staple with a debut album and a chart-topping single, but she has since shed her small town Georgia lifestyle — and with it, 25 pounds.
Last week, Scotty McCreery‘s new album ‘Clear as Day’ debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts, and it doesn’t look like he’s willing to come down from atop that mountain, even for good friend Lauren Alaina. The ‘American Idol’ runner-up’s album ‘Wildflower’ sold just under 70,000 albums in its first week, enough to place second on the country album charts.
The color pink isn’t something most people normally associate with the Grand Ole Opry, but in October, to help spread awareness of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, country’s most venerable institution will be going pink for the third straight year.
Martina McBride has been announced as the headliner for the third annual Opry Goes Pink concert, to be held October 22 in support of Women Rock for the Cure.
Sure, they’re technically still kids, but one can’t help but say “aww!” at the newly released baby photos of ‘American Idol’ stars Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.
The photos, released by ‘American Idol’s’ website, show the season 10 winner and runner-up looking so-adorable-it-hurts as they pose for the cameras. In Scotty’s case, we see him with his older sister, while Lauren poses in a cute frilly dress and bow.
They've performed together before, they're both young country artists, and they just finished an 'American Idol' run that ended with him in first place and her in second, so it's only natural to ask: Have Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina talked about recording a duet now that they're labelmates?
"Yeah, we have," says McCreery, although Alaina adds,"We need to establish ourselves as artists first ... hopefully down the road, if we're still around, we'll put something together."
