“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.
