The American Idol Top 5, including winner Maddie Poppe, runner-up Caleb Hutchinson, 2nd runner-up Gabby Barrett and finalists Cade Foehner and Michael J. Woodard headed to Nashville for CMA Fest.
The group did various performances and meet and greets all over town. The Top 3 were introduced on the Opry Stage Friday (June 8) night by season 15 winner Trent Harmon (who performed). And on Saturday, Maddie and Caleb played in the City of Hope softball game for charity. Here are a few highlights.

There were plenty of meet and greets at the American Idol Experience booth. Now I wonder why The Voice doesn’t have a presence?
