After Jordan's performances on Norway's Got Talent went viral online, she was featured in People,[3] Time,[1] The Mirror,[2] and other news outlets around the world.[4] She also realized a personal ambition by performing for Malala Yousafzai in the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Concert.[5][6]
In September 2014, she performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the US television show The View,[7] bringing her wider fame in the United States. She also performed on several TV2 programs in Norway over the next few years, including multiple appearances on Allsang på Grensen (Singalong at the Border, referring to the border fortress of Fredriksten where outdoor concerts are held) and on TV4 in Sweden.
Jordan had a small guest role in the last episode of the 2014 season of the Netflix series Lilyhammer, playing a girl who sings in a bar.[8]
In April 2016, she performed "Fly Me to the Moon" on the first season of the noncompetitive children's talent show Little Big Shots.[9] A year later she performed "What a Difference a Day Makes" on the UK version of the show.
In December 2016, she performed on Alan Walker is Heading Home, a live concert broadcast in Bergen, Norway, where she sang Walker's songs "Sing Me to Sleep" and "Faded".[10]
On 27 June 2018, Jordan performed "Fly Me to the Moon" for Quincy Jones in The O2 Arena in London, as part of his 85th birthday celebration.[11]
In 2019, Jordan performed for former president Barack Obama at the Brilliant Minds conference in Stockholm.
In 2020, she competed in the second season of America's Got Talent: The Champions.[12] Her first appearance on the show, singing an original arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", received a "golden buzzer" from judge Heidi Klum (meaning that Jordan would pass directly into the finals). As with her Norway's Got Talent audition six years earlier, the video of Jordan's performance began to go viral,[citation needed] and garnered praise from Queen's official Twitter account.[13] Shortly afterwards, the video was taken down from the show's official YouTube channel and Jordan released a studio version of the same arrangement under her own copyright.[citation needed] Jordan's second performance (in the finals), a similarly reworked "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", was also well received, but she did not make the top 5.
