Backstage at America’s Got Talent, one of the youngest contestants the show had ever seen was getting ready. Kaitlyn Maher had just turned four. She said her favorite thing to do was sing.
Her parents explained that she started singing when she was about one year old. She would hear them sing and simply join in, and from there, as they put it, the rest is history. Her mom said that if Kaitlyn made it through, she would probably cry, because she was already so proud of her.
On stage, the judges asked where she was from. She proudly said she was from America. When they asked if singing made her happy, she said yes, and then she began Somewhere Out There 🎤.
Her tiny voice was sweet and clear, and she remembered every single word. One judge said she was very good at following the melody and that it was really well done. Another said they were thinking she might be the best four year old singer in the world.
Then came the vote. David said yes and told her he would love her to come to Las Vegas with them. The other judges agreed. Kaitlyn became the youngest contestant to make it through to Las Vegas, and she ran off to hug her mommy and daddy ✨.
