When Darci Lynne sat down to react to her early America’s Got Talent performances in The Spin with Darci Lynne #10, it wasn’t just about watching old footage; it was a heartwarming and humorous look back at the moments that shaped her life. From her first audition to her big win, Darci walks us through her journey with the same charm that first won her millions of fans. She admits she never watches herself online and warns viewers she was only 12 during those early clips. Still, she jumps in with honesty, humor, and a little nervous laughter of her own.

The video opens with Darci joking about preparing herself to watch her audition, but as she hits play, the emotion is evident. She recalls almost throwing up before her first performance, feeling both terrified and thrilled. She watches her young self nervously introduce Petunia, sing “Summertime,” and earn a golden buzzer. What’s most touching is how self-aware she is, recognizing her nervous laugh, her high voice, and even the moment when her mom accidentally bumped her puppet during the celebration.

From there, Darci moves on to her quarterfinal performance with Oscar, the mouse puppet. She reveals behind-the-scenes struggles like how her ears were too small for standard in-ear monitors, which meant she could barely hear her music. Still, she pushed through, learning to use two puppet rods simultaneously and refining her performance skills. Her reaction to the jokes, the music and the judges’ laughter shows not only how far she’s come but also how much she still appreciates the experience.

However, Darci’s growth isn’t just evident in old footage. In a more recent video, she delivers a powerful performance of the U.S. National Anthem at a live event with no puppets and no comedy, just her voice and a microphone, she sings with strength and poise. It is a significant moment because it showcases how her voice has matured and how she has entered a new phase of her career. The crowd responds with loud applause not just for her talent but for her composure and presence.

Together, these two videos paint a picture of a young performer who hasn’t just held onto her talent, she’s grown with it. In her vlog, Darci laughs at her younger self but never belittles the courage it took to perform on that stage. In her anthem performance, she stands alone, showing how much her confidence has deepened. She’s no longer just a ventriloquist or AGT champion; she’s an artist finding new ways to use her voice.

Whether she’s reacting to nervous 12-year-old Darci or standing strong at center field singing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” Darci Lynne reminds us that growth doesn’t always happen loudly. Sometimes it shows up in the quiet confidence of someone who’s learned to believe in herself. These moments full of humor, honesty, and heart prove that she’s still on a journey, and fans are lucky to be along for the ride.
