Filipina singer Jessica Sanchez has been crowned champion of America’s Got Talent Season 20, marking a historic win on the show’s milestone season.

Sanchez triumphed over freestyle rapper Chris Turner in the finale, taking home the coveted $1 million grand prize. The singer, who first competed on AGT as a 10-year-old in Season 1, returned nearly two decades later — impressing judges and audiences alike with her powerhouse vocals.

The emotional moment came as host Terry Crews announced her victory, prompting Sanchez to break down in tears. Judge Sofía Vergara, who gave her the Golden Buzzer during auditions, was among the first to celebrate her big win.

Adding to the inspiration, Sanchez competed in the finals while in the late stages of her pregnancy, proving her strength and determination on stage.

Her win cements her place as one of the most memorable acts in AGT history, blending talent, resilience, and Filipino pride.
