Hosted by Bradley Hughes and pageant co-director Jennifer Vannatta Fisher at Omaha’s Rose Theater, the 2019 Miss Nebraska USA and Miss Nebraska Teen USA competition follows contestants through preliminary swimsuit, activewear and evening gown rounds, plus private interviews. Semifinalists compete again in activewear or swimsuit and evening gown before finalists answer on-stage questions and judges select the new titleholders. Erin Swanson is crowned Miss Nebraska Teen USA 2019, and Lex Najarian is crowned Miss Nebraska USA 2019. The broadcast also features farewell appearances by outgoing titleholders Michaela Edstrand and Bree Coffey, and Nebraska’s first Miss USA, Sarah Rose Summers. Opening highlights recall the 2018 Miss Teen USA and Miss USA crowning moments.
