In the video, Conway said she auditioned for the show in November.
“I did audition, and it will be on air this Sunday. I’ve been singing my whole life; I grew up in musical theater. Music has been one of the pillars of my life, and I wouldn’t be here without it,” she said. “I play about eight instruments. I’ve been doing it since I could walk.”
Conway has generated a 1.7 million strong following on TikTok, partly on the basis of her videos revealing family problems and dramas.
She said that American Idol “saw a video I posted as a joke of me singing and they asked if I wanted to audition. Everyone thinks this is a publicity stunt or me like trying to be whatever, but, no, music is my passion.”

In another video, she also discussed the audition.
“I know half of the world sees me as a joke because of my parents’ bullsh*t, but I’m not a joke, just a 16 year old with passions trying to figure out her future,” she said. “This is a really, really, really f***ing cool opportunity that I went with immediately because if American Idol reaches out to you, you don’t say no, that doesn’t happen.”
She declared that she was “really excited. Tune in to ABC this Sunday. I think the story of me going on and what I talked about is really, really touching so I hope you all enjoy. I love you all.”
In November, she first revealed she had auditioned for American Idol and posted a video showing her back stage.
“You don’t understand how it is to have the entire world watching you 24 -7 and every move you make is a headline. I think people forget I’m literally 16 years old,” she said.
In the audition video, she revealed, “Hey guys I’m at American Idol. Confessional – I met Ryan Seacrest today, and I have my audition soon, so stay tuned for that.”
She also posted a video around that time showing her dad that read, “George is ready @americanidol.” The show’s promo materials show that George Conway, a conservative attorney known for his dislike of Donald Trump, will be featured on it.
