Lauren Daigle is a globally recognized vocalist, known for a breakout hit that held a top spot on the charts for an unprecedented stretch. But it wasn’t too long ago that she was facing rejection.
Before becoming a major name in Christian music, Lauren Daigle stepped onto the American Idol stage, sharing her voice with millions. Now 29, the talented artist is constantly in the spotlight — and her vocals are nothing short of flawless.
She chose to follow the path of Christian music, and it’s a decision that’s clearly paid off. From performing in high-security prisons to gracing The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, her journey has been remarkable.
But just recently, she returned to the American Idol stage to sing Look Up, Child. The performance held deep meaning — because it wasn’t her first visit.
Back when she first auditioned, she was just 17. The judges turned her away, meaning her rise to stardom wouldn’t begin there.
That didn’t hold her back, though—she still chased the spotlight she longed for. Her persistence paid off, and she soared to success with her music career, especially with the breakout single, ‘You Say’. The song shattered records, holding the title for the longest-running number one across all genres by dominating the Billboard Hot charts for an incredible 125 weeks.
