Lauren Alaina just announced that she will be returning to American Idol as a mentor on March 28th, and to say she is excited is an understatement!

Lauren shared “I am FLIPPING OUT to return to American Idol as a guest mentor for Hollywood Week! I’ll be mentoring the country genre! I’ll see you next week on Monday, March 28 at 8/7c on ABC”

If you didn’t know, Lauren’s musical journey started on American Idol‘s 10th season, and she wound up coming in second place to winner Scotty McCreery.

Also, in case you missed it, she just played a show at the Castle Theatre in Bloomington on Friday night, and it was INCREDIBLE!

Watch here in case you missed it.

I also got the chance to talk to Lauren before her show and we talked about music, movies, books, her new show “Beyond the Edge” on CBS, and how after years of being hardest on herself, she truly loves who she is, and is a lot happier for it!

You can watch that interview here!
