This morning, she posted a photo of herself and Will Moseley having breakfast at an L.A. airport after “the craziest night of our lives.”

“See you soon New York,” she added.

That’s because Abi will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America on Tuesday, followed by a performance on Live with Kelly and Mark at 9 .m.

As for her reaction to her Idol victory?

“HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE!??!?!?!?” she writes on social media.

“I couldn’t have imagined winning #americanidol when I started this whole journey. We haven’t had a girl winner in over 4 years and to be the first after so many seasons is the greatest honor.

“I’m just a girl from Indio, who used to sing on street corners, and now I’ve had the pleasure and privilege to work with some of the most talented people in the industry and be heard by millions of people.

“This is my dream and I know it’s just the beginning.”

Oh, Sunday’s show also provided a nice little boost on the music charts.

Abi’s Idol single, “This Isn’t Over,” jumped to number 11 on the Apple Music Top 200 and number three on the same site’s pop chart.

That’s the songs highest positions since it was released on Friday.

And Abi’s even better single “It’s All Love,” released earlier this spring, is finally getting some love.

It was number 48 on the Top 200 and number 9 on the pop chart as of noon Monday.
