Claudia Conway explains her appearance
Shortly after she started trending on Twitter, Claudia Conway posted a TikTok video explaining her audition on American Idol. She also revealed her lengthy musical background. The aspiring singer wanted to persuade those who think she’s just in it for the fame.
“I know I made a video in November saying I was auditioning, I did the audition and it will be on air this Sunday, February 14. I’ve been singing my whole life, I grew up in the musical theater. Music has been one of the pillars in my life and I wouldn’t be here without it,” Claudia explained. “I play about eight instruments. I’ve been doing it since I could walk.”

She revealed that the show reached out to her. ABC producers noticed a video of Claudia singing and asked her to audition. Of course, she said yes and the rest is history. She immediately quashed the rumors that her appearance is a “publicity stunt.” Claudia said that “music is my passion.”
Claudia previously made headlines in January for posting a series of videos on TikTok. She alleged that her mom hit her and yelled at her. She also revealed that Kellyanne was “physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive,” per Billboard. Claudia has been outspoken about her fights with her mother on the social media app.
