On August 13, 2009, she auditioned for American Idol in Boston, Massachusetts and sang At Last, where all four judges (including guest judge Victoria Beckham) advanced her to Hollywood. At the Boston audition, judge Kara DioGuardi called her one of the most talented 16-year olds she had ever seen. In Hollywood, judge Kara DioGuardi made the prediction, "You could be the potential winner."
On March 24, 2010, Stevens landed in the bottom 3 during elimination night, along with Paige Miles and Tim Urban. She was proclaimed safe, giving her a spot on the American Idol summer tour.
Most of the critiques the judges have given her have been in regards to her pitch, age, and song choice. In her performance of Chain of Fools, Idol judge Kara Dioguardi told her she had found were she belonged: R&B/Pop, but she needed to work on being younger. She landed in the bottom 3 the following night but was declared safe putting her into the Top 9. In her Top 9 performance of Let It Be, all of the judges thought it was a huge improvement. Ellen stated that she wouldn't be in the bottom 3 after that performance. Simon said that she had did what she was told by being Country, while Kara and Randy disagreed, opining that she has more of an R&B sensibility. Nonetheless, her performance secured her a position in the Top 8. However, the Top 9 remained intact for another week due to the judges' save of Michael Lynche.
Stevens was eliminated from American Idol the following week on April 14, along with Andrew Garcia. Her elimination came second on the double elimination night.
Although she was close to everybody, she was especially good friends with Lacey Brown, Paige Miles, Haeley Vaughn, Andrew Garcia, and Lee DeWyze. She was also close to a few of the cut Hollywood contestants.
