One of the trailers from 'American Idol' Season 19 that went on air this Valentine's Day was out a month before premiere day. A lot of contestants who are scheduled to be appearing in the season in the capacity of contestants or even the ones who just auditioned and made it to these promo videos began to post photos with the blue and white 'American Idol' backdrop on their respective social media handles. However, there was one particular contestant who everyone had identified from the trailer, even though her face was not fully visible and it was just the hair that gave out her identity. The songstress in question goes by the name She Nova, her real identity is yet not known.
She Nova's signature purple hair that ends at her shoulders and her bangs along with her skinny and long limbs were visible in the promo that saw her crying and hugging her friend who had accompanied her to the audition and shining bright was the golden ticket that she held. For months, there were a number of forums that 'Idol' fans use to discuss the season and its contestants and everyone was talking over and over about the purple-haired girl and whether it was She Nova.
