The popular singing talent show, ‘American Idol,’ premiered on Sunday night, debuting the audition of Claudia Conway, the 16-year-old daughter of Kellyanne Conway, former adviser to Donald Trump and George Conway, attorney and co-founder of The Lincoln Project.

The video of her audition has garnered over one million views on Youtube. It begins with Conway walking into the room where the three judges await her performance. Katy Perry, one of the judges along with Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan, asks her, “Are you okay?” to which the young Conway laughingly responds, “No.” Conway tells the judges that she “only want[s] to spread love.”
