There’s no denying Taylor Swift is one of the biggest names in music. But the singing superstar should be looking over her shoulder after a recent performer wowed America’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell.
Grace VanderWaal, who is just 12-years-old, stepped onto the TV talent show stage and played her ukulele as she sang an original song.
One of the judge’s, Howie Mandel called her a “living, beautiful, walking miracle” and used his “golden buzzer” to send Grace straight to the live show, skipping the first elimination round.
Cowell, meanwhile, declared her “special,” “a star,” and boldly declared, “I think you are the next Taylor Swift.” High praise from the man who discovered One Direction.
With her blonde bob, obvious talent, and pretty special singing voice, Simon might have been on to something when he declared Grace the next big thing.
Watch the video below to see if he’s right.
