Darci Lynne at ten received a puppet for her birthday to help her talk. Just two years later she became a millionaire and a household name. Today Darci Lynne is closing the curtain on her massive 2026 tour and looking back at where it all started.
The feeling is bittersweet as she looks at her younger self. She was just a kid with a “wild hair fountain” and a big dream. That little girl used puppets to hide her fear but found a soulful voice instead. It is hard not to feel a tug at your heart when you see how far she has come from that Oklahoma stage.

It feels like watching our own granddaughter grow up right before our eyes. She has turned her shyness into a legacy that we all get to share.
While the puppets helped her find her feet, the road is finally leading her to a new chapter. The shy girl who could not speak without a friend in her hand has found the courage to stand alone. This transition is not an ending but a beautiful growth into the woman she was always meant to be.
