Now, about the song Lara picked.

“Shake it Off” is Taylor Swift’s clapback to her naysayers.

Swift once confessed on her YouTube channel,

“People can say whatever they want about us at any time, and we can’t control that. The only thing we can control is how we react.”

Swift didn’t stop there.

In a chat with Rolling Stone, she shared,

“Every aspect of my life has been picked apart—my choices, my actions, my words, my body, my style, my music. Living under such scrutiny, you can either crumble or learn to dodge the punches. And when one lands, you figure out how to deal with it. My way? I shake it off.”

“Shake it Off” is one of those dance-pop tunes that gets your head bobbing, even if the lyrics don’t quite resonate.

Little Lara might not need the song’s message just yet, but with her boldness, she’s bound to draw all sorts of attention.

And when the haters come knocking? She’ll do just as the song says—shake them off.

The moment the judges spun their seats, Lara was swamped by a wave of emotions.

Tears welled up as she tried to finish the song.

The judges, realizing they were dealing with a young heart, started cheering her on, even singing along.

It was a scene straight out of a feel-good movie.

Lara’s road to The Voice Kids stage was no walk in the park.

She journeyed all the way from the Czech Republic to Germany with her family.

She’s been sharpening her singing chops since she was eight, and boy, does it show!

For an eleven-year-old, her voice is nothing short of amazing.

It’s quite something to see a contestant step up and sing on stage.

But an eleven-year-old who’s traveled miles for that opportunity?

That’s something else entirely.

Lara later revealed that she had a blast singing the song with the judges, who even asked to repeat the last part—the part where she got choked up.

Her family watched from backstage, their faces a mix of joy and tears, as they saw their little girl hold her own with the judges.
