She has also competed as a dancer on America’s Got Talent as a samba dancer, even placing 2nd place on Super Kids Germany. Famously, she was a part of “America’s Most Talented Kids” on the Queen Latifah Show.

Despite her longstanding roots in the Hollywood circle, fans were shocked to find out that she once took a photo with pop star Tate McRae in 2016. The two even seemed fairly close!

Daniela posted the sweet photo on her personal Instagram. Fans were baffled to see two worlds collide.
