[livelovelaugh4ever98]

[paintedg0ld]

She is from my home town and where I've always lived, Seymour, Indiana!

[TheVelvet2007]

Oh my goodness she's gorgeous. I think she is one of the prettiest girls crowned as Miss America. She is glamorous and poise in everything that she performed and modeled. Gosh what a role model! If I ever model I would like to be as good her. :)

[OhhYessLifesGood]

[1punchgirl]

She's cute! (:

and i just LOVEEEEEE her evening gown

[AsiaMansur]

Hooray for Miss America! It's so nice that a Miss Indiana finally won! : D

[Arkady63]

This chick is a total honey.

[pinkgymnast125]

don't get me wrong i love miss america- i was there- but i think the main reason miss indiana won was because of all her exposure on the countdown to the crown tv show. they showed her so much, which made america remember her more, and vote for her. for example, on american idol, they always show certain contestants a lot. the ones that arent shown usually get voted off at the beginning

[fruityflutie]

I don't think she deserved the crown. Just my opinion.

[Vitamin2012]

I live in Seymour where she is from and her dad is my choir teacher!!!! I'm so proud of her for representing Indiana!!

[bhbabydoll2015]

I can see why her dad is a choir teacher! her voice is AMAZING!!!

[meleis10]

Thanks for posting this! For the past few months, I have REALLY been proud to live in Indiana!

[holySPLITS]

[holySPLITS]

[kollie09]

Israel Kamakawiwo Ole- somewhere over the rainbow

[MissCanada2011]

You can just tell by her sincere reaction of pure happiness when she won that she truely deserved that crown!

[vatonorteno]

Great choice. She's a stunner and smart and talented, too. The full package.

[qwerty3213213219]

Hoosier love! <3

[xoxojonasbrosxoxo]

she was very good.

i didnt have her picked out but once i went back and looked at everything she did then i knew that she was a great choice.

[happybunnyrulez112]

She was my pick of all the finalist. Loved her talent and her stand for her faith through her song "Via Dolorosa". So glad she won.

[gerryhansolo]

whoa! she has this refreshing charm and spunk! she could stand out in a miss universe batch.  if she maintains that spontaneity and wit, she could even bag the universe crown!

[eryncl]

Miss America doesn't compete at Miss Universe. Thats a completely different system

[hachibeach151]

Hot Damn, Katie Stam! Calling Hugh Hefner...

[striker18bs]

[kittylover10]

Congrats Katie! We are all so proud of you!

[gmulud]

great job to JUSTINRUDD, this is egggactly what I am looking for.

[carahatestrig]

She has a good voice, but she needs a little more training.

[eryncl]

She was sick. She had completely lost her voice the day before she had to do her prelim talent. I think she did great considering she had no voice less than a week before

[luuli26]

im soo glad she won!

she is really pretty and her talent is great!
