PEARLAND, Texas (KTRK) -- A 12-year-old gymnast from Pearland became a social media superstar after her coach posted a video online of her practicing.
The video garnered millions of views over several social media platforms. When Kaylee Edwards was told how many views the video had gotten, she was shocked.
