“By virtue of the power vested in me as the mayor of Killeen. I do hearby proclaim January 11th as Rose Short Day,” Segarra said.

Rose’s journey isn’t stopping anytime soon. She is kicking off a nationwide tour on March 7 called "The Rose Short Experience".

The tour will start in Killeen and fellow NBC "The Voice" finalist Katie Kaden will join her.
