And the surprise show in George Square came as a welcome release for little Karla after a frustrating year.
Kerry-Ann said: 'She's part of a dance group but with Covid, she hasn't been able to go to classes.'
The video has chalked-up more than 1,000 likes and been shared around the world - with Karla's success no great shock.
Kerry-Ann said: 'She's always singing in the house, every opportunity. From the age of two she was singing Jolene by Dolly Parton.
'Her uncle, Franny Conway, is a karaoke presenter and she's always asking him for a go - it turns into the Karla show.'
