The 25-year-old beauty queen beat out 50 other contestants, including first runner-up Mary Margaret McCord of Alabama, to win the highly-coveted title.
Miss Alabama Mary Margaret McCord almost won the top title at Sunday's Miss USA 2013 pageant.
She modeled a swimsuit and evening wear, advanced to the final six contestants and answered an interview question about government tracking of phone records.
In the final moments of the pageant, she and Miss Connecticut Erin Brady were the last contestants standing.
Brady got the crown. McCord, a University of Alabama graduate student from Gadsden, was first runner-up.
Miss USA winner Brady "is a graduate of Central Connecticut State University with a degree in finance and a minor in criminal justice," according to her bio on the Miss USA website.
It adds, "Erin was raised in a home heavily influenced by alcohol and substance abuse and she sadly remembers the lack of support and places to turn to for the children of addicts...It is her goal to help break the cycle of addiction as she plans to be an advocate for children of alcohol and substance abuse."
