Laine Hardy

Congratulations to Hardy and his soon-to-be-bride, who is an NFL cheerleader for the New Orleans Saints.

The Season 17 winner explains the toughest thing about being a contestant on 'Idol.'

"Gods (sic) word became a crutch for me throughout this process & it will stick like glue forever," he says.

He was accused of leaving a listening device in his ex-girlfriend's dorm room nearly one year ago.

The 'Idol' winner has been absent for a few months.

The singer was recently arrested on charges of illegal surveillance.

The singer turned himself in to answer a felony charge on Friday.

This live performance is personal for the newest Taste of Country RISER.
