America’s Got Talent Season 20: Jessica Sanchez Wins Golden Buzzer in a Powerful Comeback After 20 Years

America’s Got Talent (AGT) Season 20 has officially kicked off, and it’s already making headlines — especially with the stunning return of Jessica Sanchez, who delivered an emotional performance and won the coveted Golden Buzzer.

🌟 Jessica Sanchez's Golden Buzzer Moment

During Episode 7, aired on July 15, singer Jessica Sanchez performed "Beautiful Things", a soul-stirring number that brought both the judges and audience to their feet. The standout moment came when Sofía Vergara, moved by the performance, pressed the Golden Buzzer, sending Sanchez directly to the live shows.

The powerful rendition marked a full-circle moment in Sanchez’s life and musical journey, as she returned to the AGT stage two decades after her first appearance.

🕰️ A 20-Year Journey Comes Full Circle

Jessica first appeared on America’s Got Talent back in 2006, when she was just 10 years old. At the time, her talent impressed many, but her musical career took unexpected turns.

Reflecting on her long path back to music, Jessica shared on the show:

“Throughout the years, I kind of fell out of love with music because I was really young. I was swayed by what everyone wanted me to be… but maybe it took me 20 years, because now I know exactly who I am and what I want.”

Jessica also revealed two major personal milestones:

✅ She recently got married

✅ She’s expecting her first child

🎤 Sofía Vergara's Emotional Response

Sofía Vergara, who is currently on the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel, called Jessica’s return “very special.” She praised both the timing and depth of Jessica’s performance, stating:

“It’s so amazing that we’re on the 10th anniversary and the 20th season of AGT, and you’re here again after 20 years. There’s something very special happening on that stage with you.”
