Gabby Barrett, a finalist from 'American Idol' season 16 in 2018, is scheduled to perform at the All-American Halftime Show.

Barrett's journey to stardom began with her 'American Idol' audition, where she was inspired by Carrie Underwood. She advanced to the finale, ultimately securing third place. During the competition, she met and began dating fellow contestant Cade Foehner. The couple married in October 2019 in Garrison, Texas, and have since welcomed three children: Baylah May, Augustine Boone, and Ivy Josephine.
Since her 'American Idol' debut, Barrett has released multiple successful albums, including 'Goldmine' in 2020 and 'Chapter & Verse' and 'Carols and Candlelight' in 2024. Her single "I Hope" reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Additionally, Barrett made her acting debut in 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' in 2025. Foehner frequently performs guitar during her concerts.
