For Kennedy Whisenant, winning isn’t just about the crown — it’s personal.

Abandoned as a newborn and adopted six days later by a single mother, Kennedy’s journey is one of grace, grit, and God’s timing. From her early days in Birmingham to being crowned Miss Collegiate America 2022, the former Miss Freshman (2019–2020) at Clark Atlanta University has defied every odd placed before her.

Now competing as Miss Alabama USA 2025, Kennedy stands on one of the biggest stages in pageantry not just for herself, but for every child who’s ever been told they weren’t wanted. Her story proves that faith can turn pain into purpose and setbacks into spotlight moments.

Former Miss Howard University (2020–2021) and Miss Texas USA 2025, Taylor Davis, is representing the Lone Star State to the tee! During the Miss USA 2025 State Costume Competition, Davis embodied true Texas spirit rocking a look that celebrated the symbols that make Texas shine: the Longhorn (State Animal), Monarch Butterfly (State Insect), Prickly Pear Cactus (State Plant), Chili (State Dish), and Bluebonnet (State Flower) with a touch of Beyoncé-inspired flair.

Her bold and beautiful presentation proved that everything really is bigger in Texas! Catch Davis competing for the national crown on October 24, 2025, at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada.
