The adorable ukulele player with the unique voice charmed everyone, including the judges. Simon Cowell had said she reminds him of a young Taylor Swift.
Howie Mandel told her after she was crowned: “You are a shooting star! You are on your way. I love you, you are so special."
The New York native says she began writing songs at 3 and started playing the ukulele last year after she received it as a birthday gift.
The title comes with a $1 million prize. NBC said the season finale earned the most votes from the audience in the show's history.
VanderWaal will also headline a series of concerts at the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas from October 27-29.
