American Idol is having quite the season this year. After an “unprecedented” delay in voting results made headlines earlier this year, host Ryan Seacrest was finally able to reveal who was voted off the show. Now that we’re down to the Top 3, two contestants had to go home during the May 4 episode.
The evening was dedicated to Taylor Swift‘s biggest hits — from her country bops to pop bangers! Contestants performed songs such as “Tim McGraw,” one of Taylor’s earliest hits that put her on the map, “Mean,” “Love Story,” “Fearless,” “Lover” and “cardigan.”
