She Once Sang With Carrie Underwood

Nava once had the opportunity to be on stage with her idol, creating a moment that would forever be etched in her memory. As Underwood spotted Nava’s sign, which requested the opportunity to join her on stage, she graciously invited the young girl up.

The crowd erupted with excitement as Nava introduced herself to the audience, and Underwood asked her which song she would like to sing. Without hesitation, Nava chose Underwood’s chart-topping hit, “Good Girl.” As the band began playing, Underwood kicked off the song herself but soon handed the microphone to Nava, recognizing her extraordinary talent from the first note.

Nava then fearlessly took the spotlight, captivating the crowd with her powerful voice and stage presence. The audience marveled at her raw talent, and were also impressed by her ability to command the stage with the confidence of a seasoned performer.
