Cavan Rose Tara Rogers will make her appearance on stage at tonight's Rose of Tralee finale.
She says she had the most amazing week and has been treated like royalty every step of the way.
Speaking to the Wider View ahead of tonight's grand finale, Tara highlighted how "amazing" the 33 roses have been.
She said the support she has received along the way has been "unbelievable".
Tara added that the "hard work" is done now, and she expects her on-stage appearance later to be an enjoyable and fun-filled experience.
"This is something that I never thought of doing but it has honestly been the best thing I have ever done," she continued.
"The craic we have, we have so much fun with the chaperones and the girls, Daithi is great - you build up a family.
"Obviously you have your family at home but coming here and spending two weeks with these people, you have a brand new family.
"It is just the most amazing experience - you are just treated like royalty.
"And me coming from Cavan; it's far from royalty I am reared."
