Lauren Alaina will have the country music world and her American Idol family rooting for her Monday night when she waltzes into the Dancing with the Stars Season 28 finale.

Lauren and dance partner Gleb Savchanko made it past Monday’s semifinals in part by dancing a Viennese waltz to Tim McGraw’s “Humble and Kind.”

And she was getting all sorts of support on social media, with Idol friends Carrie Underwood, Scotty McCreery and Pia Toscano among those urging fans to vote for Lauren and joining a chorus that included country stars Darius Rucker, Luke Bryan and Lady Antebellum.

In Monday’s finals, Lauren will be going up against against former Bachelorette contestant Hannah Brown, comedian Kel Mitchell and former Fifth Harmony member Ally Brooke, who narrowly avoided elimination Monday night.

Should she triumph, she’ll be the second former American Idol standout to win the show. Kellie Pickler won Season 16 back in 2013. Current Idol mentor Bobby Bones won Season 27.

Lauren’s also enjoying musical success these days. Her most recent single, “Getting Good,” was released near the start of this season of Dancing with the Stars.

Written with Emily Weisband, it recently hit number one on Radio Disney Country and is climbing the Billboard country charts as well.

If you’d like to support Lauren during Monday night’s finale, here’s a link to the voting rules. Voting for Dancing with the Stars begins at 8 p.m. and runs through the night’s last commercial break.

You can vote 10 times for couple at ABC.com and another 10 times via text.

    Lauren revealed during the October 28 episode that she fractured a left rib the first week of the season and later injured multiple ribs on her right side. I’m not a huge fan of Gleb’s choreography, but Lauren’s dancing has improved in spite of the pain. She has been an enjoyable contestant on DWTS.
