Grace VanderWaal Wins 'AGT': Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Others Congratulate Her! Grace VanderWaal, the winner of America's Got Talent, already has the world in her grasp, and now she has a special gift from Taylor Swift to add to it.

On the NBC reality competition series, the 12-year-old sang her way to consistent accolades, winning the title at the finale on Wednesday night, prompting a torrent of support from fans and celebrities on social media. The biggest surprise came from singer Taylor Swift, who delivered the young musician a bunch of flowers. VanderWaal expressed his gratitude for the gesture in a video posted to Twitter on Friday. “Words cannot explain how honored I am for this,” wrote VanderWaal. “Thank. You. SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!”

Grace VanderWaal has a lot of Celebrity fans and she got love from them after her big win on America’s Got Talent earlier this week.

Katy Perry, Ellen DeGeneres, Reese Witherspoon, and Jason Mraz were among the celebrities that sent Grace tweets, while Taylor Swift went a step further and sent her a nice present. After Grace's audition, judge Simon Cowell compared her to Taylor Swift, and the superstar gave the young emerging star a bouquet of roses after she won.

“Words cannot explain how honored I am for this thank You SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! @taylorswift13,” Grace captioned the below video on Twitter.

Simon Cowell predicted VanderWaal would be "the next Taylor Swift" during the singer-first songwriter's audition, which earned her the Golden Buzzer due to judging Howie Mandel, and that prediction has now gone full circle. Prior to her win, all of the show's judges, including Heidi Klum and Mel B., gave her their seal of approval. "The most astounding thing about Grace is that no one else sounds like her," Mandel stated after her victory. "You haven't heard any lyrics from someone like her, and we've been telling her that she is the most distinctive, brightest star to emerge from one of these events," says the producer.

Katy Perry, a personal hero of VanderWaal's, also expressed her support. “Congrats! "You got it," Perry remarked in a tweet. "Protect it and keep playing and writing...it'll always be there for you." Ellen DeGeneres expressed her admiration for the actress, telling fans that they may see her "next week on my program." "I liked you since Day 1," said Reese Witherspoon, who is a longtime fan of the young actress. Actor Henry Winkler and singer Jason Mraz both congratulated the winner.
