Hannah Harper Performs Live At Dollywood

Hannah Harper has been keeping busy traveling for performances nationwide since winning Season 24 of American Idol earlier this year.

Since her big win, we’ve seen her take the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, tour with Brad Paisley, and most recently perform at Dollywood’s Celebrity Theater. Hannah was part of Dollywood’s annual Harvest Festival lineup, which takes place every fall.

On stage, Hannah performed a few of her original songs, including “String Cheese” and “Hold Your Horses.” She also treated the crowd to a few covers, one being Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” as a tribute to the country legend.

It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t know Dolly’s hit “9 to 5.” The song has been a fan favorite for decades, first recorded by Dolly in 1980 for the comedy film of the same name. It was also featured on her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released that same year.

The song went on to earn an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song and won two Grammy Awards, one for Best Country Song and another for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
