Regional auditions edit
American Idol announced in June 2018 that the Idol bus would visit 20 cities, beginning with Orlando, Florida, and San Diego, California, on August 25. Auditions could also be submitted on the official website or on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok.[2] During the 2018 CMA Awards, three contestants who didn't enter the competition and didn't initially audition were given the chance to enter the competition. The contestants were Cameron Lenz, Natalie Spiroff, and Meghan Woods. The winner of that vote was revealed to be Meghan Woods on Good Morning America on November 16, 2018.[3] However, she was not shown in any episode.
