After all the tears, the cheers, the confetti and the fireworks, America’s Got Talent has a new champion — Jessica Sanchez.
The Texas native’s name was called out during the finale Wednesday night (Sept. 24) on NBC, completing a decades-long dream that a scriptwriter would be proud of.
With her win, Sanchez collects the $1 million champion’s check, and a special place in the hearts of the nation.

Sanchez is the comeback kid, for real. She auditioned for the first season of AGT back in 2006, when she herself was a child. Now, she’s the hero of AGT 2025, which she aced while nine months pregnant with a daughter of her own.
On Tuesday night’s (Sept. 23) final, Sanchez nailed her rendition of “Die With A Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. Wearing a delicate all-white ensemble, Sanchez was all power and precision. “It’s perfection,” remarked Sofía Vergara, after the singer’s final performance. “You look like a little pregnant angel. I mean you look beautiful, your voice, I’ve never heard anything like that. Bravo Jessica.”
It was Vergara who, during Sanchez’s audition, gave the singer her Golden Buzzer, and a direct pass to the live round of the competition.
More to come.
