Madilyn Baileyhas much to keep track of right about now.
“I’m really trying to get all of the last pieces of content created,” Bailey tells PEOPLE from her home in Los Angeles. “We just have a few videos left to shoot. I justhaveto get it done.”
Helping her to keep everything straight is a wall in her home filled with Post-it notes organized in rows and columns that lists a series of priorities over the coming weeks — a wall that could resemble a piece of art if looked at in the right way.
“It’s my brain,” Bailey, 30, laughs of her crowded wall. “It’s the only way I can rememberanything. It has to be right in front of me, and I have to have all the ideas out there for all my different social media channels. What we’re posting, when we’re posting, what are the goals, what are we trying to hit? All the TikTok ideas. Yeah, it’s a lot.”

Certainly, it’s a pressure that Bailey doesn’t mind much, even though the Season 16America’s Got Talentfavorite currently finds herself currently on the cusp of the third trimester of her pregnancy.
“I got the [laparoscopic] surgery and then we decided we were going to start IVF,” Bailey remembers. “For the next two years, I was on hormone therapy treatments to help with the endometriosis and then the IVF. And what’s interesting about doing IVF when you have endometriosis is the IVF medications that grow the eggs also grow your endometriosis. So it kind of makes it worse at first.”
But earlier this year — after three surgeries, 317 shots and one failed transfer — Bailey finally got the newsshe was pregnant.
“Literally, we found out I was pregnant and then a week later we were shooting the cover art forHollywood Dead,” says Bailey of her impressive debut album. “So, the entire time I’ve been pregnant, I’ve been making all the content forHollywood Dead. I guess it gave me something to think about other than being pregnant because the first time you’re pregnant, everything’s scary.”
It’s an album that Bailey says encapsulates all her creative sides.
“There’s a little edgier rock section and then there’s a little poppierKaty PerryandCarly Rae Jepsensection,” she explains. “I think it’s a really good representation of all my pop influences and the story that it tells of my journey of moving to L.A. from start to finish.”
It’s a story she hopes to tell her daughter someday.
“I just want to create a space for her where she can be creative and know that anything is possible,” Bailey concludes. “Whatever she wants to do, I want to be able to support her in it. There isn’t any dream that’s too big to dream about.”
