The trailer features Conway, the daughter of former President Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway and Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway, introducing herself to judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie, per Page Six. "I'm Claudia Conway. My parents are high-profile political figures," says the 16-year-old, who auditioned for the show in the fall.
