Her father in an interview once said, “She’s always been my baby,” “When she did the national anthem at a football game once, I was sweating and more nervous than when I was in the Super Bowl. We have a very close family, and we call her our clutch performer.”

She was excited to work on the “Almost There” music video and to have musicians from a variety of genres reimagine classic Disney Princess songs.
