Lindsey Stirling's AGT Career Explained
Stirling made it to the quarterfinals of Season 5, showcasing her talent as a musician. Since then, she has released multiple albums, embarked on world tours, and built a massive following on social media. Stirling's melancholy and grunge rendition of "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Ke$ha during her AGT Audition helped her become known as the "Hip Hop Violinist." Then-Judges, Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan, and Howie Mandel, all voted in favor of her spiccato-laden performance, which included backbends and asymmetrical hosiery.
Although she did not win America's Got Talent, Stirling had a successful career, making several guest appearances on the show. One of her most notable performances was a duet of "Shatter Me" with Lzzy Hale, the lead singer of Halestorm, in 2014. In 2021, Stirling collaborated with Shin Lim, the winner of the thirteenth season of AGT, on her popular original song "Crystallize."
The California violinist’s popularity soared as she sold hundreds of millions of albums, traveled the globe, and made numerous media appearances. In 2015, she was named one of Forbes' "30 Under 30" and received her second YouTube Music Award and a Billboard Music Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
