A devoted horse rider and barbecue rib enthusiast, Hannah is about to garner unmatched popularity with her strictly no-filter approach, unique observations, and, of course, her incredible singing chops.

"I never thought I'd be on a camera, on TV. The bright lights are ... bright," Hannah said in an American Idol promo. 

In the same clip, the 17-year-old chanteuse walked viewers through some of her favorite activities, such as riding her horse or stopping by the gas station for a generously-portioned serving of barbecue ribs. 

Asked about whether she knew she looked uncannily similar to Katy Perry, Hannah said that she gets the comparison all the time. She modestly chalked it up to her eye color — which is blue, just like Katy's. 

"Every time I get my hair done ... 'Wow, she looks like Katy Perry!' Maybe it's the eyeballs. We've both got blue ones, and they are big!" she said. 

"Are you the country version of me?" Katy asked Hannah in the clip, before she went on to add that, "Were we separated at birth?" 

"Something like that," Hannah responded mysteriously.
