  • Silver Linings

    Silver Linings Silver linings. Someone pinch me because this is a silver lining I only saw in my dreams. The past few months have both completely dragged on and totally flown by. I came home from Idol at the end of January but I was pretty much on my death bed (the flu is no joke!) so I hadn’t really processed the fact that I’d been sent home. After that, it was a month of waiting to announce that I’d auditioned for American Idol and then wondering whether or not I’d be featured on the show. And then all of… Read More

  • No More Idol. But It’s Not Over!

    No More Idol. So, if you haven’t heard by now, I’m NOT going to be the next American Idol. You might have missed the news because outside of my one-liner about The Bachelor and me standing against the wall in Room 2, if you blinked, you probably missed seeing me! Read: I did not get a feature. Womp womp. http://carolinekraddick.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/DZQSoLaU8AAqemd.mp4 Let me just start by saying ‘thank you’ for all of your love and support. I’ve received so many comments and messages and it seems cliché, but “thank you” just doesn’t seem like enough. Everyone has been so incredibly sweet… Read More

  • Covers with Caroline – Tennessee Whiskey

    Covers with Caroline Tennessee Whiskey “Tennessee Whiskey” is one of my favorite songs to sing. It’s the perfect blend of country-soul and no matter what my mood is, when I sing it, I can feel it deep down in my soul. When I was living in Nashville, Chris Stapleton was the talk of the local country music scene. A lot of people think he just popped up out of nowhere, but he paid his dues and spent years writing music for other artists before he performed on the CMAs with Justin Timberlake. My vocal coach says my musical sound is… Read More

  • I’m Going to Hollywood!

    I’m Going To Hollywood! Okay, y’all … I can finally make the official announcement. My bags are packed, I’ve got my golden ticket and I’m INCREDIBLY honored to share the news … I’M GOING TO HOLLYWOOD! I know the past few weeks have been a little chaotic. I auditioned for American Idol! I think I’ll be getting a feature on American Idol. I might be getting a feature on American Idol. I’m definitely not getting a feature on American Idol. The reality of reality tv. I know. Y’all are disappointed. I’m disappointed too. You’ve all been so sweet and supportive… Read More

  • Covers with Caroline – Nothing Compares 2 U

    Nothing Compares 2 U I’ve done a lot of Covers with Caroline in the past couple of years and usually I choose the songs I cover based on where I am in my life. Even though things are going pretty amazing for me right now (In case you haven’t heard, 😉 I just auditioned for ABC’s American Idol and made my first music video!), I can’t help but love this one no matter what my mood is, so I thought I’d bring it back! I’ve always been a big Prince fan and his version of “Nothing Compares 2 U” was… Read More

  • Covers With Caroline – Up to the Mountain

    Up to the Mountain, Patty Griffin – Covers With Caroline A few years ago, I started seeing a Christian counselor. She has really been an inspiration to me and has the best way of putting things into perspective and showing me exactly how it relates to me. (OMG! SHE SEE’S A THERAPIST! SOMEONE CALL TMZ!) No, but really. A while back, she reminded me of a story from the bible that related to my life. It was the story of Caleb (Joshua 14:6-15), who was the leader of the tribe of Judah. The story starts when Caleb is about 40… Read More

  • Covers With Caroline – Sweeter

    Sweeter, Gavin DeGraw – Covers With Caroline I think everyone can relate to “someone else’s sugar is sweeter” because we’ve all been in that place … the place where you want what you can’t have. Back in his “I Don’t Want to Be” days, Gavin was on the morning show a couple of times and “Sweeter” is one of the songs he performed live. He was good friends with my dad and I’ve always been a fan of his sound. I wanted to cover one of Gavin’s songs and this one is SO fun to sing. And, I loved being… Read More

  • Music, My Dad and American Idol

    Music, My Dad and American Idol After losing my dad, music went from being my biggest passion to being the most heartbreaking part of me. Music was such a big part of my relationship with my dad and something that we both loved. Even though I’d done it my entire life, singing became a painful, vulnerable place for me. But, auditioning for American Idol not only helped heal my heart, it helped me discover who I am as an artist and find my voice. Thank you to Marie Saavedra and WFAA for putting together such a beautiful segment. I’m so… Read More

  • Covers With Caroline – Once

    Once, Maren Morris – Covers With Caroline ​ Maren Morris is obviously one of my favorite artists, but it’s bigger than that. I’m talking full-blown girl crush. We’re from the same hometown, we were in Nashville around the same time, and I even got to see her perform with Kree Harrison (American Idol runner-up!). There’s a small possibility I’m obsessed. I’ve been following Maren’s career since high school, so I was SUPER excited when she started to take off because I knew she was going to be huge! I fell in love with her album, “HERO”, as soon as I… Read More

  • Caroline’s Sunday (or other days) Serenades

    Sunday Serenades The Sunday Scaries. You know them, right? That feeling of dread you get when the weekend is almost over and Monday is just a few hours away. The Sunday Scaries can be the worst, especially if they linger into Monday. So, on Sunday afternoon when they start to creep in, I try and chase them away before they take over! Part of my Sunday routine is to do things that “give me air” – things that put me in a good headspace for the upcoming week. Long relaxing baths, journaling, maybe some cooking, music … I try to… Read More

  • Give Me One Reason – Covers With Caroline

    I’m back! With another cover! I love just about every genre of music, but right now I’m really into the bluesy, soulful sound. My favorite songs are the ones you can belt out, with the windows down (thank you Texas winter!) and just sing like no one is listening! “Give Me One Reason” by Tracy Chapman is a total throwback but it’s SO good. And we’ve all had that one guy you wanted to leave and needed to leave, but if he would’ve just given you one more reason … But you’re better off without him anyway, right? I’d love… Read More

  • Love On The Brain – Covers With Caroline

    Love on the Brain Happy February! Dry January is OVER and love is in the air! And even though I’m not currently dating anyone, I still love Valentine’s Day! I’m always up for a celebration and what better excuse to celebrate the people you love than with Valentine’s Day! Love for everybody!! I decided to kick off February with a new Covers with Caroline video and because it’s February, of course, I chose a song about love! “Love on the Brain” is pretty much playing on repeat in my head right now. The first time I heard it, I was… Read More
