“YOU GUYS. I feel more grateful than any of you even know. Wow. Thank you for the ongoing love and support. my heart is so full,” the Walsh Jesuit High School student said on Instagram after the show.

“You may be our youngest, but I think you’re one of our most talented,” judge Katy Perry said Sunday following Flora’s take on Demi Lovato’s “Tell Me You Love Me.” “I am really rooting for you.”

The singer’s “American Idol” journey was first aired back in December during auditions. She currently has more than 13,000 followers on TikTok.
