Miss USA pageant photos

Competing in the Miss USA pageant is once-in-a-lifetime event few get to experience. Here are KT’s official Miss USA photos.

State pageant photos

The on-stage moments, the tension of the final two and the glory of the crowning, here are KT’s state pageant photos.

Professional photos

Lights, camera, action!  Professional photoshoots are one of the perks that comes from winning a title.

Candid & Appearance photos

From events straight after her crowning to her final appearances before she passed on her crown, here’s a look at all the appearances KT made during her reign, as well as other candid photos during her year.

Previous pageant photos

KT started competing when she was 13 and at just 14 placed first runner-up to future Miss Teen USA Katherine Haik at Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2015 (both were 14, which is crazy!) using her full name Katie Scannell.  She placed first runner-up a second time in 2016, then finished second runner-up in 2017 and 2018.  In 2021 she competed in the Miss division for the first time.  A college student in Mississippi, she ended up second runner-up at Miss Mississippi USA 2021 Bailey Anderson.

Farewell photos

All beautiful things must come to an end, no matter how bittersweet. See KT’s farewell walk and other candids from the weekend she crowned her successor Sylvia Masters as Miss Louisiana USA 2023.

After the crown

Winning a state title is a sisterhood for life. Here are KT’s “after the crown” photos.
