Us Weekly is tracking the Golden Buzzer moments from Season 21 of "America's Got Talent," which returned on June 2, 2026. The judges—Simon Cowell, Sofía Vergara, Mel B, and Howie Mandel—along with host Terry Crews, have the power to press the Golden Buzzer and send a contestant directly to the next round. The article highlights several standout auditions. Among the Golden Buzzer recipients are 14-year-old Lai Noelle from Texas, who wowed the judges with a rendition of Sienna Spiro's "Die On This Hill," prompting Simon Cowell to press the buzzer. A Canadian dance crew performing with dogs received Terry Crews' Golden Buzzer. Other winners include rapper Luke, who delivered an original rap called "Seat to Stage," and Australian singer Lara, who received a Golden Buzzer from Sofía Vergara with an assist from Howie Mandel.
