Last year’s American Idol third place finisher Haley Reinhart is headed to America’s most famous zip code. The gorgeous songstress will guest star on The CW’s 90210 tonight — as a singer and actress.

Haley couldn’t spill too many details about her cameo appearance in an interview with USA Today, but she did let it slip that she’ll perform “Free,” a song from her debut album, Listen Up!, which drops on May 22. Said the Idol alum, “I got to perform... and then had a few lines in there.”

The curly-haired musician will share a scene with actress Jessica Lowndes (Adrianna), and it sounds like their characters may come into conflict. “Let’s just say her boyfriend, Dixon, is involved, and she's not too happy about a certain situation,” teased Haley. Juicy!

Although this is only the up-and-coming star’s first TV acting gig, Haley hopes it won’t be her last. "I've always loved acting," she dished. "My mom wanted me to go into [it] more than singing, when she saw me onstage. Maybe someday."

To catch Haley’s appearance, tune in to The CW at 8/7c tonight! Good lucky, Little Pony!
