Her second single, “Married Into This Town,” was released on July 10, 2026; The Mountaineer reported on July 22, 2026 that it was recorded at Purple Ridge Recording Studio in Bethel, in Haywood County, North Carolina, and iHeartCountry had reported on July 7 that Harper shared a preview of the then-unreleased ballad. On September 4, 2026, Country Rebel covered her new song “Hold Your Horses,” released with a music video featuring her husband. Release activity shows an active post-Idol recording career; none of the sources reviewed state what any of it earned.
What has been reported about Idol prize and contract terms?
Parade’s Carrie Underwood profile describes an older American Idol winner structure under a Hollywood Records deal, with payments tied to starting and finishing a first album and an album advance. Billboard reported in May 2021 that BMG became American Idol’s label and publishing partner with 19 Entertainment for Seasons 19 and 20. This page has not verified the terms that applied to Season 24, so no prize or contract figure is stated for Harper.
