She gets nervous even singing in front of her family. But, she absolutely killed her audition. In just under a month, her tryout has over 1.6 million views! Luke Bryan commented that Cassandra has, “a new voice the world has never heard before.”

5) She’s verified on Instagram. That’s right, she has the blue check mark! Cassandra has close to 26,000 followers on the social media platform.
