Who is Maddie Glidewell?

Though Maddie Glidewell will be seen in the 'American Idol' Season 20, not much information about her has been dropped in the show's promos and teasers. But her active Instagram account does give us some clues. Maddie believes in a guiding power as her Instagram bio reads: 'Live by faith and hope.' She was also excited about making her appearance and participating in the healthy competition as she shared in an Instagram post. The caption for the post reads, "WOAH !!! It was soooo fun going on wbko today ! Thank you for having me !! The 20th season premiere of @AmericanIdol is this Sunday, February 27 8/7c and you just might see someone familiar... Tune in to @ABCNetwork ! #IdolPremiere#maddiebelleonidol#imsogratefulforallofyou!#letsgotothetop GO WATCH @wbkotv TO SEE ALL THE DETAILS."



 

Her Instagram is a mix of the professional and personal. There are quite a few cute couple pictures with her and her partner, who also posts their pictures under the Instagram handle @j2k.jones. The two spent Christmas together and Glidewell posted pictures of them kissing surrounded by Christmas decorations.



 



 

Through her Instagram pictures, we can assume that the singing star loves to wear beautiful dresses. However, Maddie also has some soft corners in her heart for dogs, as she had shared a few pictures of her with a dog, celebrating beautiful moments together.
