However, fate had other plans for Anderson. During one of the episodes, host Ryan Seacrest announced Anderson's sudden exit from the show after she performed Christina Perri’s “Human” for judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, and Lionel Richie.

“You might have noticed that there was no voting information during Kenedi’s performance just now,” Seacrest explained during the show. “Since we taped these shows in Hawaii earlier, Kenedi has decided to withdraw from our show for personal reasons. We send her well wishes," he added.
