Charity Lockhart – A Voice of Hope Earns the Golden Buzzer on America’s Got Talent
The June 10 episode of America’s Got Talent Season 20 delivered one of its most emotional and unforgettable moments when 49-year-old singer Charity Lockhart brought the judges and audience to their feet — and walked away with the coveted Golden Buzzer, securing her spot in the next round.
Before singing a single note, Lockhart shared her powerful and deeply moving life story. Years ago, following a painful divorce, she and her young children ended up homeless, living out of their car. Despite the overwhelming hardship, she never gave up hope.
“All I had was my voice,” Lockhart told the judges. “So I went to clubs and bars and asked live bands if I could sing with them.”
Those small gigs and local singing competitions eventually helped her get back on her feet, allowing her to rent an apartment and provide stability for her family. Step by step, her perseverance led her to the grand stage of America’s Got Talent.
Her performance wasn’t just a showcase of vocal talent — it was a testament to strength, resilience, and the power of never giving up. As the final note rang out, the entire theater rose in a standing ovation — and one judge hit the Golden Buzzer, sending golden confetti raining down as Lockhart stood in tears of joy and disbelief.
Charity Lockhart isn’t just a singer — she’s a symbol of courage and hope, reminding us all that even in our darkest moments, passion and perseverance can lead us to the light.
