Hannah Harper is officially hitting the road in style after revealing the “big news” that she’s purchased her very own tour bus ahead of a busy stretch of shows.
The American Idol Season 24 winner shared the news while giving fans a glimpse into her new life on the move. Harper revealed that she has already logged more than 1,700 miles this weekend alone while traveling across Missouri, Kentucky, and Georgia before heading back home to the Show-Me State.
“We are officially out on tour, and my heart is so full. 🤍 A huge thank you to @robertsbrotherscoach for taking such incredible care of us and making sure every inch of this bus is road ready. We couldn’t do this without y’all,” she wrote in the caption.

Harper explained that she is feeling “extra grateful” that the person responsible for converting the massive vehicle already purchased all new mattresses and bedding for all the bunks as well as her bed, on top of deep cleaning the entire space. Since she will be spending a lot of time on the road with her husband and their three young sons, the back lounge of the bus has been transformed into a full bedroom, allowing them to be comfortable while on the move.
She packed up the house, preparing all the necessitates that her family will need, while her parents made their way to Nashville to pick up the bus. In the final video clips, she briefly panned around the newly renovated space as she settled in for a weekend with her family, her band, her nanny and bus driver (a.k.a her mom and dad).
The “String Cheese” singer has been on a whirlwind of a journey from the day she auditioned for American Idol to the moment she was crowned this season’s winner. Getting her own tour bus is just another major step in her fast-rising career, and Harper is feeling excited for everything to come.
“I am so excited to be on my bus this weekend with my crew,” she stated.
Now that she is fully prepared and ready to tackle her next set of shows, Hannah Haper will be making her way to her “stomping grounds” in Bunker, MO for the Mid American Bash on July 3.
She is slated to return to the Grand Ole Opry stage on July 17 for the first time since making her memorable debut on June 2 and then embark on a trip to South Bend, Indiana on July 6.
Hannah Harper also promised that a full bus tour will be “coming soon.”
Along with her run of headline shows on the String Cheese Tour, fans can catch the rising act opening for select dates of Lauren Alaina and Brad Paisley’s respective tours in the coming months.

On June 23, around 40 students from the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), Louisiana Tech University, and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette were celebrated in Chicago as the first cohort to receive the AI Leaders Micro-Credential through AI Leaders, the nation’s first workforce-focused AI literacy course tied to a recognized credential. Each of them earned it by building real projects, applying generative AI to genuine work, and contributing to the open source software that powers more than 40% of the web. Students who completed the course also earned $1,000, made possible by a donation from Automattic and UIC. This celebration was the moment the program had been building toward since it was first announced in February.
When the pilot launched, the goal was to test whether open source learning could connect directly to job pathways rather than stopping at a certificate. What makes this program distinct is that it is built on open source from the ground up: students learn on WordPress, contribute to it, and use generative AI the way the WordPress ecosystem uses it every day, leaving with a credential that employers can verify and a community that continues long after the course ends.
The pilot reflects a shared belief that AI and open source skills should be within reach regardless of where someone lives or what they can afford.
WordPress was built to expand access to publishing and participation on the open web.
The program is a collaboration with distinct roles for each partner. It is funded through the UIC Tech Solutions Open Source Fund, with support from the University of Illinois Chicago and Automattic, while the WordPress project and the WordPress Foundation contribute to the development of the curriculum itself.
The first cohort was just the beginning. The gathering in Chicago brought this group together with employers and agencies, and further job placements are already in motion.
The next round of AI Leaders is on the horizon. Subscribe for updates to be the first to hear when the next cohort opens and how to take part.
WordPress offers a wide range of educational opportunities for people at every stage, from first steps to advanced contribution. Explore workshops, lesson plans, and community-created resources designed to help you build practical skills while connecting with others who are learning and contributing at WordPress.org/education/.
