This has never happened before on America’s Got Talent—for the first time ever, the judges and host gave a collective Golden Buzzer to a 9-year-old contestant.

Victory Brinker earned a historic Golden Buzzer after singing “Juliet’s Waltz.” She proved that big things can come in small packages.

Even before she took the stage to sing, a bird was seen flying overhead. “That is a lucky sign,” said judge Simon Cowell.

Once on stage, Brinker started talking to the judges. Cowell asked her what she would do with the $1 million prize if she were to win the season’s prize.

The young girl quipped back, “Buy Simon a rainbow shirt that has glitter on it,” adding that Cowell needed some color!

With that, she launched into her performance with an operatic song that left the judges stunned. She sounded like an opera diva, not a 9-year-old girl.

All four judges praised her performance, and Simon Cowell called host Terry Crews over to the judges’ table. While the judges huddled, Brinker nervously waited for the verdict on stage.

Cowell returned and stunned the audience when he declared, “We’re not going to give you a yes today.” The audience began booing, and Cowell declared: “We’re going to do something else we’ve never, ever done on the show before. We are all going to give you something special.”

On a count of five, Crews joined all four judges to collectively slam their hands down on the Golden Buzzer. This was the first-ever collective Golden Buzzer given to any contestant on the talent show.
