But Haters Are Forgetting One Thing.

Jackie Evancho has an impressive resume for only being 16 years old. Now, the teen singing phenom famous for being runner-up on “America's Got Talent” has accepted an invitation to sing for President-elect Donald Trump.

The announcement came on Wednesday morning while she was on the “Today” show. She told the co-hosts:

“I feel really honored. To be able to sing for the office - it's a great honor for me.”

While Jackie may feel it's an “honor,” not everyone seems to agree with her.

After the announcement of her upcoming performance, she became the target of political attacks.

In an interview with People Now, the young singer described another reason her family has seen a lot of hate. She said:

“My family is kind of a big target. I have a transgender sister and so a lot of hate goes towards us."

Last year, her sister, Juliet came out as transgender at the Global Lyme Alliance’s inaugural gala in New York.

Fortunately, the family has learned to deal with the negativity that comes from being in the public eye. She said they “pay most attention” to the love they receive.

But there's another reason why the anger being directed at Evancho is misguided: After coming in second on “America's Got Talent” in 2010, she was invited to sing for President Barack Obama at the National Christmas Tree Lighting.

She performed for the Obama Administration at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2012, as well.

Boris Epshteyn, Director of Communications for the Presidential Inaugural Committee, told Independent Journal Review in a statement:

“We're delighted to have Jackie Evancho performing the National Anthem at the 58th Presidential Inaugural Ceremony. As the youngest solo artist to ever go platinum, she is a true role model and inspiration for people young and old in our country and around the globe. Jackie represents the best and the brightest of America.”

When Jackie performed for President Obama she remembered everyone was really impressed, and she got a lot of applause.

She hopes the same thing happens again at Trump's inauguration.

"I can't stand Trump but won't give up the opportunity for publicity."

Or maybe "I'm a 16 year old kid who doesn't care about politics."

That's what happens to people that just want to sing....

Kids should not be involved in such stuff.
