School’s out! Former American Idol frontrunner Kenedi Anderson graduated from high school two months after she abruptly quit season 20 of the singing competition.“No more school for meee hehehe #graduation,” the singer, 18, captioned a carousel of Instagram photos on Monday, June 6, posing in her cap and gown with her diploma in hand.Anderson celebrated the exciting milestone eight weeks to the day after longtime American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest, announced that she had left the long-running reality series.“You might have noticed that there was no voting information during Kenedi’s performance just now,” the emcee, 47, revealed during the April 11 episode of the show, in which she sang “Human” by Christina Perri. “Since we taped these shows in Hawaii earlier, Kenedi has decided to withdraw from our show for personal reasons.
We send her well wishes.”The following day, the Virginia native confirmed her departure from the series.“For personal reasons, I’m unable to continue on American Idol.
This has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, but I know it’s necessary,” she wrote in a statement at the time. “I’m so grateful to American Idol, the judges, the producers, the amazing contestants, and all the fans who have supported me.
Thank you for giving me such an amazing opportunity to share my voice, chase my dreams, feel so much joy and happiness doing what I love, and make lifelong friends along the way.”Those friends include her fellow American Idol costar Emyrson Flora, who commented, “awe congrats babe❤️.”Anderson was the favorite to win the competition from the get-go.
