Kellyanne Conway and Lincoln Project founder George Conway. - Claudia has amassed more than 1.7 million TikTok followers by sharing snippets of her life with her well-known parents.
Claudia Conway, the daughter of former White House advisor Kellyanne Conway, will perform on the upcoming season of "American Idol" according to a new commercial that aired during Monday night's broadcast of "The Bachelor."
The 16-year-old became a major social media presence last year when she began openly voicing her disdain for her mother's employer and her conservative politics. Over the past year, Conway has offered often-strained snippets of her life with her parents.
In November, Conway shared that she was auditioning for the show via TikTok, and posted a lip-sync video with her father, George Conway, founder of the anti-Trump conservative group The Lincoln Project.
In her latest TikTok, she confirmed to her 1.7 million followers that her audition would air on Sunday, February 13 and "American Idol" confirmed to Insider that she would be a part of the season premiere.

"I know that half the world sees me as a joke because of my parents and whatever bulls---. I'm just a 16-year-old with passions, and you know, trying to figure out the future. This is a really good opportunity. A really f---ing cool opportunity that I went with immediately, because if "American Idol" reaches out to you, you don't say no," she said.
Earlier this year, Conway posted several TikToks that appeared to show her mother screaming at her and alleged that she'd suffered both physical and emotional abuse.
"I'm not looking to hate on my mom, I just think it's important to tell my side of the story and my experience," she said in a follow-up TikTok. "I was just going through some videos, I have hundreds and hundreds of videos just like that. I thought it was important because as a woman who has such power in this country I don't think people know how she is."

In late January, Kellyanne Conway was accused of sharing a nude photo of her daughter, taken from Claudia's phone, which prompted New Jersey police to investigate, according to the New York Post.
Following the incident, Claudia posted a TikTok saying: "We're going to handle this privately, and I will never ever be speaking about this publicly."
