She had a good run on American Idol in 2018.
But her first appearance in the public eye was 7 years earlier, and it was not positive.
An 11 year-old Harper was invited to sing the National Anthem at a pro soccer game in Dallas, and her inexperience, along with some technical issues got national attention. A video of “the worst National Anthem ever!” went viral, and a young Harper got a taste of the dark side of the internet.
But she didn’t give up her dream, and today Harper Grace is living that Nashville singer/songwriter life. She has opened for Luke Bryan, Jake Owen and more. She is a songwriter for Curb/Word Music Publishing.
