“I cannot believe,” she exclaimed, “I got to experience a room with such talent and inspiration.”

Days after attending the Grammy Awards, Victoria Konefal was still riding high. “The magic I experienced this weekend was unparalleled,” she said via Instagram. “To all the artists who blessed the stage — y’all really did something special.

“I cannot believe I got to experience a room with such talent and inspiration,” she added. “Goosebumps the entire night.”

As you’ll see in the photos and videos above, the Days of Our Lives leading lady — Ciara, as if you didn’t know — didn’t just look like a million bucks, she had a helluva seat for a show that was worth a million bucks. So moved was she by the experience, she said she “might [bleep] around and become a rock star next. Who knows?”

When a follower replied, “Might?” Konefal corrected herself. “Will,” she said.

The actress wouldn’t be the first soap star to pick up a mic. During his run as Danny on The Young and the Restless, Michael Damian had a No. 1 smash with a remake of “Rock On.” Everybody wanted to be “Jessie’s Girl” while Rick Springfield was playing Noah on General Hospital. And, of course, Days of Our Lives alum Olivia Rose Keegan (ex-Claire) has been stunning in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series! (Watch — and hear! — her in action below.)

Our favorite-ever soap-star singer, however, may be Jacqueline MacInnes Wood. Before she started her family, the Bold & Beautiful Emmy winner turned out one jam after another that was so much fun, we felt like we’d spent a night on the town with Steffy. (Check her out below.)

As beginnings go, Ciara Alice Brady’s was pretty inauspicious. Hope gave birth to her daughter in the abandoned warehouse in which she was being kept by abductor/supposed babydaddy Patrick Lockhart. Wait, if he was the father, why had he kidnapped his lover? Simple. Hope, as she had a tendency to do, was reuniting with her one and only, Bo, so Patrick, in a fit of pique, had gone to extremes, by not only having the paternity test doctored but sequestering the object of his obsession to refocus her attention on him.

Having been born to trouble magnets Bo and Hope, it should have come as a surprise to no one that Ciara was abducted before her age was even in the double digits. Among the culprits was a corrupt Salem PD officer, who — irony alert! — was assigned to the case. When he figured out that his crime was likelier to get him featured in a mug shot than an Employee of the Month portrait, he killed his cohorts and tried to play the hero who’d rescued the tyke. It might’ve worked, too, had a traumatized Ciara not realized who he really was and been rescued by Bo before the villain could keep her from tattling.

After Bo and Hope split up, their daughter — only marginally more perturbed than fans — seemed determined to turn The Bad Seed into a one-kiddo show. To that end, Ciara stole from a teacher, shredded clothes belonging to Bo’s girlfriend, Carly (and they weren’t even last year’s fashions!), and rebranded herself as her school’s bully. (“A” for audacity?) On the plus side, when Ciara targeted classmate Chase Jennings for abuse, it brought into Mom’s life the boy’s handsome dad, Aiden.

We thought that Ciara had been dark during her Bad Seed phase. You did, too, right? We were wrong. So were you. And, as if to prove to us all that we hadn’t seen nothin’ yet, the teenager — with the help of Theo Carver, Joey Johnson and Claire Brady — made a hostage of Chase until he admitted that he had raped her. OK, wow. And we thought that Ciara was dark. Nope. Chase was dark. The kind of dark that you only see when you’re wearing a blindfold. At night. In a closet. With the light off.

After the “death” of Abigail DiMera, Ciara moved in with a grieving Chad to help care for the couple’s son, Thomas. By which we mean totally ignore a smitten Theo in favor of crushing on her boss. Despite what’s suggested by this particular photo, Chad kept Ciara at arm’s length. But by the time she realized that “Oh, Theo’s awfully cute — and actually into me!” he’d transferred his affections to Claire. Finally, after Ciara learned that new boo Wyatt Stone had been getting tips on wooing her from Theo, she got the hell outta Dodge — well, Salem — to chill overseas for a while.

When Ciara returned, she did so as the ultimate daddy’s girl — at least if one’s daddy is Bo Brady! Clad in leather and riding a Harley, she roared into Salem, declared her feelings for Theo (who by then was in love with Claire), flirted with Tripp Dalton (who also just happened to be in love with Claire; it was a really good time to be Claire!) and feuded with… well, obviously, Claire. (Needless to say, Ciara stopped slipping $5 bills in her niece’s birthday cards for a spell.)

Following Days of our Lives’ one-year time jump, Ciara found herself separated from Ben by prison bars. Owing to his history of weaponizing neckwear, he’d been tossed in the pokey for supposedly throttling sis Jordan to death. (And how’s this for irony? His cellmate was one of his “victims,” Will Horton, under the mistaken impression that he was responsible for the demise of his mother-in-law! But we digress… ) Were it not for Ciara’s Herculean efforts, her honey might have succumbed to the lethal injection that he received before Jordan’s babydaddy, Christian Maddox, was revealed to be the real culprit.
