She first gained attention for her participation on the third season of The Voice as part of Adam Levine's team where she was eliminated in the live playoffs.
However, it was in 2017 where she got her first true break when she was the singing voice of Rebecca Ferguson's character Jenny Lind in the hit film The Greatest Showman, performing the anthem "Never Enough". Her performance gained widespread acclaim and the song has since been covered by artists and ordinary people all over the world.

In 2021, Loren released her debut EP entitled “Late Bloomer” and joined Andrea Bocelli on select tour dates.
In 2022, Loren auditioned for the 15th season of Britain's Got Talent, performing the very song that she sang in the movie, in the hopes that people would finally get to know the face behind the voice. She acquired Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer and finished 9th overall in the Final. Her audition video has over 62 million views on YouTube.
In December 2022, Loren released a new single entitled “Aren't You Tired (La Di Da)” after having previously been releasing a cover of “You Say” by Lauren Daigle, and an official version of “Last Thing I'll Ever Need”.
