  Tennessee is in the top 5 most successful states at Miss Teen USA in terms of number and value of placements. In the 1990s, they were placed first. They have the third highest number of semi-finalist placings and are one of only five states to have received more than three awards.
  Five Tennessee teens have gone on to win the Miss Tennessee USA title and compete at Miss USA, including Lynnette Cole, who won the Miss USA title in 2000 and Rachel Smith, Miss USA 2007. Both Cole and Smith won Miss Photogenic awards at Miss Teen USA, each five years prior to their Miss USA win.
