12-year old singer-ukulele player Grace VanderWaal has won talent show “America's Got Talent”, pushing off stiff competition from a variety of talented performers. She is now Vegas bound, where she will headline the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Oct. 27, 28 and 29, according to a statement.
The Season 11 winner -- who will also collect a $1 million grand prize -- will be joined by the AGT runner-up, mentalist magicians The Clairvoyants, and prop mime Tape Face for all three shows.
VanderWaal was a frontrunner from her very first audition, when she played her original “I Don't Know My Name”. Her performance excited judge Howie Mandel, who propelled her into the competition by hitting the Golden Buzzer.
As a special treat, the New Yorker -- who purchased her ukulele with birthday money for her 11th birthday -- performed a reprise of her audition song, earning praise from special guest Stevie Nicks.
