Miss Arkansas Savvy Shields is Miss America 2017

21-year-old Savvy Shields, student at the University of Arkansas, is the newly crowned Miss America 2017.

Savvy won the talent portion with her Jazz dance to 'They Just Keep Moving the Line' from the American drama series Smash.

The beauty was asked about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton during the Question and Answer portion.
'If you're trying to be leader of the free world, everything you say and do matters and all of your actions are held to a higher standard. Both of the contestants have done a good job, but they also need to watch what they're doing', was Shield’s response.

The first and the second runner-ups were respectively Miss South Carolina Rachel Wyatt and Miss New York Camille Sims.

Celebrity jury included millionaire American businessman and investor Mark Cuban, American artistic gymnast Gabby Douglas and American singer Ciara.
