12-year-old Grace VanderWaal won the hearts of the crowd and hard-to-please America’s Got Talent judges after performing her original number “I Don’t Know My Name”.
During Tuesday’s episode of the NBC talent show, VanderWaal stunned the entire auditorium with her remarkable husky voice, and was even called “a living, beautiful, walking miracle” by judge Howie Mandel.
Guess who will be Fifth Harmony’s 27/7 tour guest?
Almost as tiny as her ukulele, VanderWaal also received the golden buzzer from Mandel, earning her a straight trip to the live show round.
If that wasn’t enough, the show’s perpetual bad cop Simon Cowell even said, “Grace, you know what I predict for you? I think you are the next Taylor Swift.”

A day after the broadcast, the Taylor Swift in the making expressed her humility on Twitter.
I still can’t believe that happened last night, Thank you so much for making me feel so special. @nbcagt #AGThttps://t.co/8cHeIzHLvB
