She Shook the Stage with Her Guitar and a Shakira Hit—and Won the Golden Buzzer Instantly

On a night already electric with anticipation, no one expected that the biggest spark would come from a young woman in a black leather jacket and a dazzling smile. She walked onto the AGT stage with the kind of confidence that could only come from someone who has loved music all her life.

 A proud fan of Shakira, this contestant chose one of the Colombian superstar’s most iconic songs—“Hips Don’t Lie”—but gave it a rock-infused twist that completely transformed the vibe of the original.

She wasn’t just there to sing. Slung across her shoulder was a sleek black electric guitar. With a slight nod and a flash of determination in her eyes, she strummed the opening chords with ferocity, sending a ripple through the theater. The familiar melody of “Hips Don’t Lie” took on a brand new life—louder, edgier, and magnetic. The crowd erupted in cheers before she had even reached the chorus.

The judges were taken aback—not by the song choice, but by the way she made it entirely her own. Her voice had a raw texture, full of attitude, power, and passion. She moved confidently across the stage, owning every inch of it, her fingers commanding the guitar with practiced ease while her vocals maintained perfect control.

What could have been a simple cover turned into a fiery tribute infused with her unique personality and undeniable talent.

The energy in the auditorium became impossible to ignore. Audience members were on their feet, clapping, dancing, and singing along, swept up in the contagious rhythm. The judges exchanged stunned glances, clearly impressed by how someone so young could bring so much presence, charisma, and musicality in a single performance.

As she launched into the final chorus, adding a blistering guitar riff that wasn’t part of the original song, the room exploded in applause. That moment sealed her fate. One of the judges, visibly moved and smiling wide, didn’t hesitate. They slammed the Golden Buzzer.

Gold confetti poured down as the girl fell to her knees in joyful disbelief. Tears welled in her eyes as the judges ran up to the stage to hug her. She had just achieved what most performers can only dream of—an instant ticket to the live shows and a performance that no one would forget.

Her story is simple but powerful. A girl inspired by the passion and fire of Shakira, she decided to bring that energy to AGT in her own way. By mixing Latin heat with rock rebellion, she didn’t just pay homage to her idol—she carved out a path of her own.

And in doing so, she reminded everyone watching that talent alone isn’t enough. It’s the courage to take risks, the joy of performing, and the ability to connect with an audience that truly creates a star.

This girl didn’t just sing “Hips Don’t Lie.” She lived it. And by the end of her performance, no one in the building could deny the truth her music spoke.
