Darci Lynne, winner of season 12 of America’s Got Talent, honored Elvis Presley’s 89th birthday with a stunning at-home version of his famous song “Trouble.” With natural energy and limitless charisma, Lynne’s voice carried throughout the chorus and lifted the song to thrilling new heights.
The fun, however, did not end there: her mother made an unannounced visit with a playful hand signal toward the camera on the staircase to give even more charm. Darci, cheekily captioning the occasion “Happy Birthday Elvis See my late mother at the end as well #elvispresley,” couldn’t help but post her delight on social media.
Happy birthday Elvis
But this fiery rendition of “Trouble” is not an isolated incident. In September 2023, Darci performed an a cappella version of the song in her kitchen, expressing her admiration for the rebellious tune after it was covered in the 2022 Elvis biopic movie Wiki. Originally featured in the 1958 film King Creole, “Trouble” starred Elvis Presley as Danny Fischer, a rebellious character who sings the song in a nightclub to impress a girl. Written by the legendary duo Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, “Trouble” became an anthem for Presley’s indomitable rock ‘n’ roll persona.

Fast forward to 2022, when Austin Butler’s portrayal of Elvis has brought “Trouble” back to prominence, with Butler’s version of the song earning him an Oscar nomination.”Trouble’s inheritance” endures, and Darci Lynne’s heartfelt memorial is a prominent memory of King’s persistent impact. Watch as he brings his brash energy to this ageless work which guarantees to thrill for millenniums.
