Just one year before winning America\u2019s Got Talent in Season 12, 11-year-old Darci Lynne took the stage at the Cinderella International Pageant. And the performance she put on was just a glimpse at was to come for her unforgettable run on AGT.<\/p>\n

With her trusty puppet Petunia, Lynne broke out in Kristin Chenoweth\u2019s \u201cThe Girl in 14G.\u201d They traded parts back-and-forth on the Wicked star\u2019s complex original song. Petunia took the more contemporary sections of the track, with Lynne putting her ventriloquist skills to the test by not moving her mouth at all. She then shocked the audience with her perfectly-pitched opera-like vocals.<\/p>\n

Chenoweth and Lynne would later collaborate for the teen\u2019s 2019 NBC Christmas special, Darci Lynne: My Hometown Christmas. The two Oklahoma natives duetted a mashup of \u201cSleep Well, Little Children\u201d and \u201cWhat a Wonderful World,\u201d and bonded over one hilarious thing they had in common.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve actually met before, but seeing her again was like, \u2018Oh my gosh, it\u2019s Kristin Chenoweth,\u201d Lynne told ET at the time. \u201cAnd she\u2019s just so sweet. So actually, we have the same shoe size. So she was like, \u2018Darci, I\u2019m gonna send you all the shoes I don\u2019t wear anymore!\u2019 I was like, \u2018excuse me, what?’\u201d<\/p>\n
