Darci Lynne Farmer has won the 12th season of America’s Got Talent.
After one the toughest season in AGT, the 12-year-old won the night with her incredible singing ventriloquist act on Wednesday for a performance of Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better) with fellow ventriloquist Terry Fator, who won season 2 of America’s Got Talent.
Darci went home with the grand prize of $1 million.

Darcy also laid out how she would spend her prize money.
“First, I am definitely going to give some money to my mission program at church and then I have to get my mom a dishwasher,” she shared. “Then I’m definitely going to get a pug, because I really want one — if my parents let me.”
With her AGT journey coming to a close, Darcy said she’s going to miss “everything” about the experience.
“The people, the staff, the contestants, everyone is so kind and it’s just been so much fun, I’m so sad it’s ending.”
Singer, Angelica Hale came in second behind the ventriloquist.
Nigeria’s Kechi Okwuchi, who survived the Sosoliso plane crash that took 108 lives on December 10, 2005, came in sixth.
Wednesday’s finale featured a variety of stellar performances. Angelica and Kechi kicked off the night by performing Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger with Clarkson herself, and Harvey also took the stage with Shania Twain in a beautiful duet of You’re Still the One.
