Watch out Rose of Tralee, we’ve another superstar Rose in the making.
This year’s Carlow Rose, Shauna Ray Lacey touched many viewers during her TV selection interview with Daithí O Sé this year.
The 24-year-old opened up about becoming pregnant with her daughter Emmy, at 21 and her parents' struggle with their heroin addiction.
As Shauna went on to sing Aslan’s ‘Crazy World’, a song she dedicated to her late father, her three-year-old can be seen in the audience watching her Mammy in awe.

As Shauna and her family enjoy some catch-up time post, The Rose of Tralee International Festival, Emmy has made it clear that when she grows up she wants to be just like her.
Grabbing a mic of her own, Emmy has begun to sing the Aslan classic, just as her Mam did.
The song holds a special place in Shauna’s heart as her father used to sing it to her when she was little.
"My dad sang it to me when I was a little girl and I suppose because [although] he's not here today, he did give me my musical abilities so I'm going to be singing that for ye tonight. It's very special to me."
