She was fraudulently induced to make an investment.

The Voice, AGT, and other singing contests make people's careers. The exposure that she can get from being on a real singing contest is worth the airfare, even if she doesn't win. However, because the production company lied to her about the purpose of the taping, she spent that money for nothing.
