At age eight, Alaina entered the talent competition of the Southern Stars Pageant and won. The next year she was selected to perform on the Kids talent stage at Chattanooga's Riverbend Festival. She performed on that stage annually until age twelve, when she won the competition that allowed her to perform on the festival's big stage.

Alaina was inspired to sing by her cousin, Holly Witherow, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor.[5] Prior to Idol, Alaina worked at CiCi's Pizza.[4] She attended Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, where she was a cheerleader.[6][7]
