Brown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, previously expressed her desire to tackle the role during an interview that took place at the Women Tell All taping.

“I would love to have the opportunity to continue on shedding that layer of just trying to be whatever I think people want me to be and just being myself,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I think I really believe in this process and I do think you can fall in love here and be in love and find your person. So, if it could be me, that would be great. I’m really sincere about it.”

Brown is used to pursuing titles after winning Miss Alabama USA 2018. Despite being eliminated after meeting Underwood’s family, Brown stood out from other contestants particularly after being involved in some drama with fellow Miss USA pageant member Caelynn Miller-Keyes.

Prior to the announcement, leaked footage on social media showed Brown filming her intro video for the show at the local theater.
