The 21-year-old singer revealed the artwork for Whirlwind on her Instagram account, just a few moments after returning to the American Idol stage over the weekend with boyfriend Caleb Lee Hutchinson.
The artwork was done by Dylan Mead.
“Almost a year ago I had painted Maddie in honor of her American idol win. And now, I get to reveal why I’ve been so quiet on this account,” Dylan wrote about the reveal. “On May 17th, the album Whirlwind by @maddiepoppe comes out!”
He added, “This is so crazy. At 16 years old I’m already living my dream. Thank you Maddie for everything! Stay tuned for more news!”
Amazing!

In a recent Q&A on her Instagram Stories with fans, Maddie shared that she would “100% marry him yesterday, if I could.”
“Never met anyone who made me so happy, and truly cared about every fiber of my being so much. He’s got a heart of gold and honestly, I’ll move anywhere,” Maddie shared. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout the past year, it’s that HOME is where your people are. It doesn’t matter where I am, my people are what make me feel at home and whole inside.”
