When my grandson Miller 🩵 asked me to be a judge for Mountain Superstars Jr. 2026, a project he’s worked so hard on the past three years, I just couldn’t say no 💛 And let me tell y’all… I had the BEST time. These youngins have got the vocals AND the star power ⭐️ Watching them took me right back to when Ethan was growing up, getting on stages and competing just like this. Makes a Mamaw proud. 🥹 I even got to judge alongside one of my favorite creators, - such a sweet bonus! Congratulations to Zamira (our winner) and Rosalina (runner-up) - you both did absolutely amazing. But truly, every single contestant could’ve taken it home. In Mamaw’s eyes… y’all are ALL superstars 🌟
