Former American Idol contestant Laine Hardy (age 18) came back to the auditions to support his friend Ashton Gill.

As soon as he walked in, the judges of American Idol namely, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan recognized him.

The judges noticed that Laine was wearing his own merchandise as Katy went on to hug him. Katy noticed that Laine also has new teeth and said, “You got all Hollywood on us! What is going on?”

Laine Hardy was one of the popular contestants on American Idol Season 16 (2018), and many fans were dismayed when he did not make it to the Top 24.

This time around, Laine said that he was there to accompany his bestfriend’s sister Ashton Gill, a 20-year old from Louisiana. “No audition for me,” he said when asked by Luke Bryan.

When Ashton Gill sang an impressive rendition of “Broken Halos” by Chris Stapleton and got her ticket to Hollywood, the judges asked Laine Hardy to sing.

Laine obliged and sang “The Weight” by The Band. The judges were so amazed with his performance, noting his confidence and swag. Lionel Richie told him that if he wants to come back, he should not play around.

Katy Perry agreed, waved a golden ticket at Laine and said, “Yo Laine, what’s your problem? Why don’t you wanna come back? Come on take this ticket, come on, take this ticket! You found your confidence.”
