2015 Miss America | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

One moment that happened during the 2015 Miss America pageant that has everyone talking is Miss New York Kira Kazantsev‘s talent performance!

The 22-year-old winner of Miss America performed a rendition of Pharrell Williams‘ song “Happy” mixing in the “Cups” routine made famous by Anna Kendrick in Pitch Perfect.

“The reason why I chose to do that talent is I wanted every single little girl in America to be able to see that you can do that talent – you can do whatever talent you want on national television – even with a red cup – and still be Miss America and have the time of your life,” Kira told ABC News. “I literally in that minute and 30 seconds had the most fun I’ve ever had, and that’s because I stayed true to myself and I did what I wanted to do for my talent, no matter what everybody else told me, and it paid off. I’m very happy about it.”

Anna has even commented on the performance. See her tweet below!

Miss Nebraska, aka Megan Swanson, had a bit of a mishap during the 2015 Miss America pageant on Sunday evening (September 14) – she accidentally flashed the judges and the camera!

Ironically, the moment came exactly when host Chris Harrison joked about looking through the gowns of the contestants.

“Judges are looking through the beautiful gowns, not literally, that would be wrong. The judges will be looking at personal style and flair of each of these contestants,” Chris says in the clip.

Just as Chris is speaking, you can see Miss Nebraska in the corner of the screen spreading her legs and flashing the camera briefly.
