In December 2018, Darci Lynne Farmer, the Season 12 winner of America’s Got Talent, delivered a breathtaking rendition of “Mary Did You Know?” during her NBC holiday special, Darci Lynne: My Hometown Christmas. Accompanied by world-renowned violinist Lindsey Stirling, the performance captivated viewers and moved Darci’s mother, Linda, to tears.

Dressed in a winter-white ensemble, Darci’s angelic vocals intertwined seamlessly with Lindsey’s emotive violin, creating a moment so powerful it left the audience spellbound. The emotional depth and musical synergy between Darci and Lindsey brought a fresh and poignant twist to the Christmas classic, resonating deeply with viewers.

The special, which aired on NBC, featured a lineup of notable guests, including Kristin Chenoweth, Toby Keith, Hunter Hayes, and Pentatonix, alongside Darci’s lively puppets. However, it was the duet with Lindsey Stirling that stood out, showcasing Darci’s incredible vocal range and emotional delivery.

Reflecting on the performance, Darci shared on Facebook, “We rewatched ‘Mary Did You Know?’ from last year’s My Hometown Christmas special and my Mom still cried. Thank you, Lindsey Stirling, for accompanying me.”

This unforgettable collaboration has been hailed as one of the most moving versions of the Christmas classic ever performed, solidifying Darci Lynne’s place as a remarkable talent in the music world.
