Miss America 2015 winner, Kira Kazantsev, is a daughter of Russian immigrants, and represented the state of New York, making it the third time in a row that New York has won the crown, following Nina Davuluri, Miss America 2014, and Mallory Hagan, Miss America 2013. Interestingly, having the first Miss America of Indian descent is followed up with having the first Miss America of Russian descent. She is fluent in Russian, and Spanish, too.
For her talent, she sang "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, while playing percussion with a red plastic cup, in the style of Anna Kendrick's character in the 2012 film Pitch Perfect.
