Darci Lynne Farmer is a 14 year-old girl who stole the hearts of people all over the country when she won “America’s Got Talent” two years ago. Since then, she has continued to be a huge success, and she just showed the world how talented she is once again when her Christmas special aired earlier this month!

Darci Lynne admitted before the special that her life has changed dramatically in the past few months.

“I guess just being more known is the biggest change, getting noticed in public and having a lot of followers on Instagram and things like that,” she said. “Just a crazy new life. I mean, I still live in Oklahoma City, still have the same friends. I’m still my normal self, just Darci, I haven’t changed a bit. Even though I’m in this big, crazy business, I’m still just myself. I still celebrate Christmas; I still live at home.”

Darci Lynne loves Christmas, so when she was offered the chance to host her own Christmas special, she jumped at the chance.

“It’s my first-ever Christmas special, and it’s crazy that I get to do it,” she said. “And I just want people to watch it and have a good time with their family, just enjoy it and enjoy the songs and the feeling of Christmas. I wanted to show I still celebrate Christmas just like any other kid, in my hometown, with family traditions . and spending time with my family. It was really fun just to kind of show how I hang out with [the puppets] and how important they are to me during Christmas and how we celebrate Christmas together.”

Darci Lynne was stunned when Toby Keith, one of her musical idols, agreed to perform with her!

“They called us and I was like, ‘absolutely,’ and then I found out afterward that she had already been coming here and performing on her own,” Toby explained. “So, the beauty of her is she didn’t do this because she got a TV special… She lives here, and she’s been coming by and entertaining these kids. And that’s beautiful that she would do it. So, I’m really proud of her, and she’s really good at what she does, too. She handles everything really well for her age.”

Darci Lynne has so much talent, and we can’t wait to see where it takes her in life. Check out her performance with her beloved puppet Petunia in the video below!
