Phillip Phillips may have won the female vote on this season's American Idol, but sorry ladies the boy is taken!
Phillip relished praise upon his girlfriend Hannah Blackwell during a call with reporters yesterday after his big win.
"She’s very excited for me. She’s helped me out a lot through this. Maybe she will be able to come on tour with me, it would be cool to have her there. She’s supported me throughout all this. I love her to death."
Hannah (who has been Tweeting her support for her BF all season long) shouldn't be worried about those Philatics though!

"I mean if it’s a girl who thinks I’m cute and then gets mad that I have a girlfriend, then she doesn’t really like the music," Phillip confessed.
"I’m all about the music, man. I’m not trying to be some cute guy who is trying to be successful off that. I really want the music to come first. I’m really trying to feel it and have fun."
