Darci Lynne, the incredible winner of America’s Got Talent Season 12, keeps amazing people with her incredible skills. She’s famous for her ventriloquism, but she’s proven she can do so much more. One example? Her ability to yodel—using a puppet, no less.
At a show in Reno, Darci brought out Katie, her puppet who loves to yodel. Together, they performed a lively song called “Yodeling Cowgirls.” As Darci controlled Katie, the puppet did amazing vocal flips and yodels, all while Darci kept her mouth completely still. It was jaw-dropping and showed just how talented she is.

In 2024, Darci returned to the America’s Got Talent stage for the Fantasy League season as part of Heidi Klum’s team. Talking about being back, she shared, “America choosing me to come-back as one of their favorite Acts is a really big honor. I think it’s a little pressuring tho. I feel like I have to live up to what I did when I was twelve. But I just don’t want to be put in to a box, and so, for my performance tonight, I’m doing something different. I think people are gonna be surprised.”
For her big performance, Darci started with Petunia, her well-known puppet, who gave a sweet introduction. Then, Darci surprised everyone by grabbing a guitar and performing “I’ve Got the Music in Me” by The Kiki Dee Band. The mix of her singing, playing guitar, and using her puppet amazed the crowd and judges alike.

Heidi Klum praised her, saying, “Darci, I think that you are absolutely fantastic. I’m glad you didnt abandon Petunia all the way because this is how we fell in love with you. I’m so happy that you’re back here on our stage.” Simon Cowell also shared his thoughts, saying, “There are very few people in the world who can do what you do.” He called her ventriloquism her “unique selling point” and encouraged her to keep using it in her performances.
Darci’s return reminded everyone why she’s so special. She isn’t just good at ventriloquism—she’s great at performing in general. By mixing things up and trying new ideas, Darci continues to entertain and surprise her audience. Her talent seems limitless, and people can’t wait to see what she does next.
