Everything You Wanted to Know About ‘Fingers Crossed’ Singer-Songwriter Lauren Spencer-Smith
No one can write a breakup ballad quite like 18-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter Lauren Spencer-Smith.
The talented artist first made her way into our hearts as a contestant on American Idol, before becoming one of our favorite viral musicians on all of TikTok with her powerful songs including "Fingers Crossed" and "Flowers." With her powerfully painted narratives, brought to life with soulful, soaring vocals, each new song has fully broken our hearts, and we know Lauren is only getting started. Here's everything we learned about her as our latest Woman Crush Wednesday.
