Jaani represented Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011, with her entry "Rockefeller Street" coming in 24th place in the final. That same year, she participated as a celebrity contestant on Tantsud tähtedega, the Estonian version of Dancing with the Stars.
In 2012, Jaani presented the scores on behalf of Estonia for the grand-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
In 2013, Jaani landed the role of Sandy in the musical Grease.
Jaani's Eurovision song "Rockefeller Street" later became an internet meme after a video of two Japanese men playing a "Nightcore" version of the song using the rhythm game osu! following them dancing to the song became popular on social media. Their dance moves also became popular, spreading to apps and sites such as TikTok and YouTube in 2018. The original song is in E♭ minor while the meme nightcore version is in G minor, having been sped up by 1.25x with the pitch also increased. Jaani spoke out about this in 2019 on "etv", "When I heard the new version which is a lot faster, the original Rockefeller Street seems like a great lullaby next to it."
