“He’s actually on the new American Idol this season,” Brian Littrell revealed in an interview on Today earlier this month. “He was just texting me last night, going, ‘Dad, dude, how do you do this? Like, it’s hard work,’” he added. “He’s been busting his butt, and I’m super proud of him. He kind of gets a new sense of reality of what this is.”

Baylee also teased his American Idol audition via an Instagram post earlier this month, writing: “Well guys, recently I had the opportunity to audition for @americanidol. Tune in to see the season premiere and what happens on 3/9/25!” he wrote.

Baylee is no stranger to the music world. He made his Broadway debut in the musical Disaster! when he was just 13, and even released his debut album, 770-Country, in 2019, per Today.
