Darci Lynne tugged at America's heartstrings when she competed in Season 12 of
America's Got Talent.
Her initial performance of Summertime by Gershwin with her diva rabbit puppet, Petunia, earned her a fan, judge Mel B. She received a golden buzzer that sent her straight through to the quarterfinals. The performances to follow with puppet Edna Doorknocker singing (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and The Beatles' With A Little Help From My Friends, helped Darci Lynne win the competition. She received a $1 million grand prize along with a headlining show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. With a record-breaking 306 million social media views of her
America's Got Talent
performances, it's easy to see why the Darci Lynne tour is a great show to see.
Darci Lynne didn't always command the stage as she does on her national tour. She remembers being very shy and hiding behind her parents whenever it came time for her to speak. However, her parents encouraged her to participate in contests and pageants to overcome her shyness. She'd already had a wonderful singing voice but was afraid to show it. The more pageants she participated in the more her confidence grew until she won her age bracket in the International Cinderella Scholarship Program. She was introduced to the art of ventriloquism by another winner of the same contest who inspired her to become a puppet master. Fortunately for Darci Lynne's fans, her parents grew to support her new talent, which led to the amazing teenage ventriloquist who can have conversations with her puppets while they sing Italian opera arias.

Upcoming stops on the Darci Lynne tour include the Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts in Pittsburgh, Penn., the Robinson Center in Little Rock, Ark., the Murat Theater in Indianapolis, Ind. and the Edgewater Casino Resort in Laughlin, Nev.
It wasn't until Darci won a pageant that she met another contestant who introduced her to the art form. Her parents weren't enthusiastic about it at first but eventually caved in and got her a puppet for her 10th birthday.
