While the 18-year-old high school senior and 'Georgia Peaches' singer strives to have a 'normal' life, it can be challenging to find a significant other who understands the life of a musician. Alaina recently dished on her new boyfriend and how he fits into her jam-packed life.

Although the country songstress is in the middle of her Eighteen Inches Tour, she cleared her calendar recently to surprise Jordan Trunfio -- a West Springfield High School student in Springfield, Va. who is suffering from a brain tumor -- at his Homecoming dance.

For a select few though, Thanksgiving is a day to do what they do best, entertain. Both of the final two contestants on the last season of "American Idol" got the call this year, and both made headlines doing it, just not for the reason they would have liked. Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, flubbed up his lip syncing at the Macy's Parade, and Idol runner-up, Lauren Alaina, became the latest to mess up the National Anthem.

Besides winning over America on ‘American Idol,’ the country cutie released her debut album, ‘Wildflower,’ last month, which has already spawned two hit singles. Now, 2012 is already shaping up to be an amazing year for the soon-to-be 17-year-old. While she remains tight-lipped about the details, Alaina can promise that there’s be some exciting tour news to come.

The ‘American Idol’ runner-up’s album ‘Wildflower’ sold just under 70,000 albums in its first week, enough to place second on the country album charts.

But even if they aren’t dating each other, that doesn’t mean the ‘American Idol’ alums can’t find love with other young songbirds.

In fact, Alaina has made no secret of the fact that she has eyes for rising country star Hunter Hayes — and as it turns out, he could very well end up being her date to the prom.
