Daigle, a Louisiana native and LSU alum, was a contestant on "American Idol" in 2010 and 2012, but hit it big when she signed a music contract and released her first single, "Light of the World," according to her bio on the rodeo website.
Daigle released her album "How Can It Be" in 2015, earning three No. 1 songs, including "O'Lord," "First" and her "Trust in You."
Her song "You Say" went triple platinum from her album "Look Up Child."
She's also two-time Grammy, four-time American Music Award and seven-time Billboard Music Award winner.
March will mark her debut appearance at the rodeo.
