The supermodel then pressed the coveted Golden Buzzer, showering Makayla with golden confetti onstage. The teen's parents looked thrilled backstage as Makayla was being recognized for her talent and beauty.

Makayla's lifelong dream of auditioning for America's Got Talent has finally come true.
The daughter of a firefighter and a drama teacher began watching the NBC reality talent competition series at age three, and she has been "mesmerized" by the show ever since.
Makayla's parents said in a video package that played before the teen's audition that she was born to sing. Makayla even practices her vocals at odd hours of the night, such as 3AM.
"I just want to sing for people and have them hear me and be like, 'Wow, I felt that.' I just want to perform for everybody," said the brunette beauty.
