'American Idol' Alum Haven Madison Is in Her 'Reputation' Era

Since her time on ‘American Idol,’ Haven Madison has embraced a darker and more mature sound, reminiscent of one of her idols, Taylor Swift

“Coming off American Idol, I definitely had some grit and I had some blood on my knees because I had to deal with social media and I had to work like a 35-year-old and grow up practically overnight,” Madison told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting her new EP, Turn Off All the Lights. She went on to sing in front of guest judges Ed Sheeran and Alanis Morissette(earning the latter’s approval of Madison’s rendition of “You Learn”), and she generated buzz online after a clip of her emotional duet with Perry went viral. “I think that my roots are always gonna take me back to Reputation,” Madison tells Us, noting that she is also “obsessed” with Swift’s recent release, The Tortured Poets Department, especially since attending The Eras Tour in Paris.
