‘American Idol’ Laine Hardy Starts Music Fundraiser
Laine Hardy won American Idol in 2019 as voters swung him to the top over Alejandro Aranda. However, he now needs help to reboot his career and he started a fundraiser to record more music.
Laine Hardy Was A Popular American Idol Winner
In 2018, the young man from Louisiana impressed ABC’s judges, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie with his audition. Unfortunately, he fell out in Hollywood Week. The next year, he accompanied a girlfriend for her audition and he went through to try for a second time. After winning Season 17, new music was slow to arrive, and his fans begged radio stations to play more of it.
When Laine Hardy started releasing songs, he stunned music lovers with Memorize You, Please Come Home For Christmas, Tiny Town, Ground I Grew Up On, and more. The young man was touted as a “Rising Star” in country music when his downfall arrived. Allegations arrived that he’d planted a listening device in his girlfriend’s room at Louisiana State University. Arrested, he cooperated with the university’s police.
Laine Hardy Returns, Needs Help To Produce More Music
The court didn’t want to destroy a young man who was previously cleaner than the inside of a pile of whistles. So, he ended up being offered a program. If he completed it, no formal record would remain of his crime. Astonishingly patient country fans stood by him over the last year-and-a-half, and now he’s hoping for a comeback.
Recently, the American Idol winner posted on Instagram for the first time in ages. Before the scandal, the last music that Laine Hardy produced was Here’s to Anyone, produced by Michael Knox. However, it sounds like he probably lost any recording contract as he recently started a fundraiser on GoFundMe.
American Idol Alum Reboots His Career
Having completed his program, the popular musician needs his fans to help him get back on the creative path. In his fundraiser, he said:
Hey y’all Laine Hardy trying to raise funds to record music in studios, pay for travel expenses back and forth from Nashville, and use money raised to promote my music by touring. It’s a dream I’ve always had and I need y’all to make it come true. All donations go strictly to music production, instruments, DAW software plugins, my chicken coop studio equipment. Anything and everything music. I’m grateful for any donation.”
Laine Hardy has already found donors who love his music. So far, he raised $3,101K and fans are sending in chunks of money to help is restart his career. Comments indicate a lot of support.
American Idol Fans Are Stepping Up. One of his donors said, “We are all here for you Laine. You have proven to us the beautiful person you are. Great singer, musician, and now song writer. We’re not going anywhere…we’ve got your back and always will. We love our Laine.”
Another fan said, “Laine deserves this and I’m ready to help this young man pursue his dreams!!! Can’t wait to hear new music from you, Laine!! Stay strong and never give up!”

Love Laine Hardy for what he stands for as a young man and artist. Love his raspy voice and songs he has already released. Definitely love attending his concerts and attend as often as I can. Will definitely be supporting him through his future endeavors of producing his songs and doing what he loves to do!
I like Laines music. He has a great voice. I have been lucky to have seen and met him 4 times. I also have a CD of his. I have 2 of them. I should raffle one of them off to the highest bidder and donate the money to Laines GO-FUND-ME page.
NOW THAT IS A TRUE LAINE HARDY FAN GARY! AND AN AMAZING IDEA TO HELP LAINE! IF YOUR PART OF THE LAINE TRAIN FAN PAGE YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO POST YOUR RAFFLE FOR THE CD .. 😀💜
GOD BLESS!
Love Laine’s music! His singing and guitar playing. Have seen him in concert 3 times and attended his Birthday Bash! He is such an appreciative good southern young man. I support him all the way! Pray he goes to the top where he belongs.
I’m sure this was not an easy decision for Laine to make! It is so hard to believe that there is not a person or a label out there that is willing to back Laine. There’s something so special about this young man and his God gifted talents. His fan base is exceptional and I am proud to be a part of it. Hopefully, more people will jump on this bandwagon to promote and support him. We wish him all the success he deserves.
