The America’s Got Talent 2026 auditions witnessed a deeply emotional milestone when 17-year-old Bety stepped onto the stage. Traveling all the way from Spain for her very first trip to America, the young singer was visibly overwhelmed and admitted to being incredibly nervous before her performance. Accompanied by her brother—whom she called her biggest supporter—Bety shared that performing on AGT had been a lifelong dream she finally felt confident enough to pursue.
Any lingering anxiety vanished the moment she began to sing. Bety delivered a remarkably unique and soulful rendition of “If the World Was Ending” by JP Saxe and Julia Michaels. What made the performance truly standout was her decision to blend English and Spanish lyrics, adding a deeply personal and cultural layer to the hit track. Her distinct tone and effortless control commanded the entire room, turning her nervous energy into pure, raw star power.
The judges were instantly captivated, rewarding her with a roaring standing ovation. Heidi Klum praised Bety’s unique “recording voice,” noting that she has the rare star quality to be instantly recognized on the radio. Sofia Vergara echoed the sentiment, comparing her haunting, beautiful sound to a mix of Halsey and Adele. Finally, Simon Cowell commended her for delivering a masterclass in song performance without trying to copy anyone else, celebrating her distinct identity as an artist.
Bety’s humility and immense talent won over the entire theater. Leaving the stage in tears of joy, she secured a unanimous four “Yes” votes from the panel, marking her place as one of the most promising young artists to watch in the 2026 season.
