In 2020, she represented Italy at the Free European Song Contest 2020 with the song "Te Amo Mi Amor", finishing 13th out of 16.

Deutschland sucht den Superstar

Engels also participated in season 7 of Deutschland sucht den Superstar but was eliminated during the recall after her duet with Eugen Flittner.[1] In season 8, she was eliminated in the first Live Show.[4] Later on, she was asked to come back because RTL chief Tom Sänger (not the voters) had eliminated Nina Richel from the show, allegedly for health reasons.[5]

Pietro Lombardi's brother posted a semi-nude picture of Engels after she had used Pietro's mobile phone to talk to girls.[6] After hearing about what Sarah had done, Lombardi's brother Marco decided to take "revenge" by sharing this semi-nude picture of Engels.[6]
