OlderMaddie Poppe Reveals Ryan Seacrest Wasn't There When She Got Her Golden Ticket After 'American Idol' Audition
Maddie Poppe looks so cute in her green overalls while appearing on Build Series on Tuesday (July 30) in New York City.
The 21-year-old musician talked about her debut album Whirlwind, and her American Idol audition.
Maddie revealed that when she auditioned in front of the celebrity judges and got her golden ticket, host Ryan Seacrest was not there waiting outside the door.
“After I left the room, Ryan Seacrest wasn’t there, so they called me back over about five hours later, after the emotions like, I’m not on top of the world. They’re like, ‘Hey, we need you to act this out again. We need you to act like you just got this golden ticket because Ryan’s back.’”
He’s so busy. He’s all over the world and he’s never in a bad mood. I don’t know how he does it,” she continued. “I came out, and this was my first time meeting Ryan Seacrest and they’re like, ‘Okay, fake it. Act like you just got this ticket.’ I am so awkward, I can’t fake that. I came out, and I just remember being so corny… My mom and dad were like, ‘That was terrible, I hope they don’t use that take.’”
