The performance and Gardner’s growing popularity caught the attention of Kevin Jonas Sr., the Jonas Brothers’ father. He offered her a management contract through Jonas Group Entertainment. Joe Jonas, a member of both the Jonas Brothers and DNCE, was impressed as well and assisted Gardner in securing a recording agreement with Republic Records.

Her connection to the Jonas Brothers also produced a touring opportunity. Gardner was selected to open some dates on the group’s Remember This tour. David Guetta later invited her to join a new version of “Dreams” alongside Morten. The collaboration exceeded one million streams on Spotify within three days after it was released.

Gardner’s following extended beyond that viral recording and the subsequent collaborations. The reported totals for her social platforms were 339,000 subscribers on YouTube and 464,000 followers on TikTok. Alongside the beginning of her professional music career, she continued her education at Middle Tennessee State University. The source does not specify her course or field of study.

Her Instagram posts also offered glimpses of her personal life, including numerous pictures featuring a young man named Max Rauch. Based on those posts, the source identifies him as her apparent steady boyfriend and characterizes the pair as seeming happy. Gardner’s official online presence includes YouTube, Facebook and Instagram accounts, as well as her website.
