The 21-year-old from Douglasville placed second in the competition and will be joining a fellow “Idol” alum who made it one step further than she did on tour.

Maddie Poppe won the 16th season of “American Idol” in 2018. Poppe’s season was the first of the revived series that began airing on Channel 2.

Poppe and Danielle announced earlier this week that they would be going on tour together.

The tour is the first of its kind for Danielle.
