The huge talent show has also famously founded the career of Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson.

Everyone’s Back

Fans are excited about the return of judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan, who will be returning for the sixth time.

One Platinum Ticket Is Already Taken

Last season a new form of the “Golden Ticket” was introduced called the “Platinum Ticket,” which takes the contestant straight to Hollywood and lets them sit out of the first round of Hollywood week. Elijah McCormick won America’s vote and was already awarded the “Platinum Ticket” for this season; the rest will be given out during the show.

Fans Can’t Wait

Other contestants have already tweeted about auditioning for the show. Fans are already supporting contestants on social media and sharing what they’re excited about this season!
