Her most popular performance on the program remained her audition with Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream.” Brown used what the source described as a distinctive, smoky voice and an individual vocal style to transform the pop song. The audition resulted in all three chairs turning, giving her a clean sweep. It later went viral and ranked among the season’s more popular performances.

Brown, who is from New Castle, Indiana, advanced to the finale alongside Lucas West, Liv Ciara, and Alexia Jayy. Alexia Jayy became the season’s winner, while Brown finished fourth. Her viral “Teenage Dream” audition was identified as her biggest accomplishment during the season, with the Clarkson duet adding a finale performance to her run.

Although Clarkson was the last of the three coaches to turn a chair during Brown’s audition, the teenager still selected Team Kelly. That choice ultimately placed Brown with the coach who joined her for “What Was I Made For?” in the finale.
