When 12-year-old ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer won America’s Got Talent (AGT) in 2017, she stole hearts with her incredible talent, charming personality, and hilarious puppet pals. Now, years later, fans wonder: Where is Darci Lynne today?
THEN: The Unforgettable AGT Journey
Darci Lynne burst onto the AGT stage as a shy Oklahoma girl with a big dream—and an even bigger talent. Her audition with sassy puppet “Petunia the Rabbit” earned her a Golden Buzzer from Mel B, sending her straight to the live shows.
Week after week, she wowed audiences with:
“Edna Doorknocker” – the feisty old lady who belted out “Nutbush City Limits”
“Oscar the Mouse” – the smooth-singing crooner
“Katie the Cowgirl” – the yodeling country sweetheart
Her finale performance with Terry Fator (another ventriloquist AGT winner) sealed the deal—she won $1 million and a Las Vegas headline show!
