After Claire sings, the video shows Claire and President Nelson talking for a moment.

“What is your favorite color?” she asks.

“You know, I love them all,” President Nelson responds.

According to a church news release about the video, Claire Crosby has more than 6 million followers on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. “Her family are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” it says.
