From the small town of Viburnum, Missouri (population 600), 4-year-old Amelia made a big splash online after delivering an impressive performance of Lainey Wilson\u2019s \u201cSomewhere Over Laredo\u201d at an annual Tiny Tot Pageant for preschool ages to compete in.<\/p>\n

Amelia\u2019s mom, Averie, explained to\u00a0Country Now<\/em>\u00a0that every year, a pageant is held during their local fall festival. Last year, Amelia wowed the crowd by shooting her bow and arrow at a fake deer to claim the crown. This year she returned to retire her crown and to showcase another talent of hers \u2013 singing.<\/p>\n

While Averie stated that this was her little girl\u2019s first time singing in front of a crowd, her confidence radiated on stage as she powered through the dreamy, mid-tempo track that offers a nod to the timeless classic\u00a0\u201cSomewhere Over the Rainbow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said she wasn\u2019t scared or nervous at all! We were so proud of her courage,\u201d Averie shared.<\/p>\n

Amelia is no stranger to singing, and getting the chance to perform a Lainey Wilson song made her feel completely at home. She has been a devoted fan of the country star from the very beginning, which made choosing a song from the Louisiana native\u2019s catalog an easy decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has been singing since she could hum along to songs at a year old! I swear she can hear a song one time and know the lyrics almost immediately! She knows every song on the\u00a0Whirlwind<\/em>\u00a0album,\u201d her mom said, referring to Wilson\u2019s latest project.<\/p>\n
