“America’s Got Talent” champions receive a $1 million grand prize and a Las Vegas headlining opportunity. Darci learned that her popularity had moved beyond viral videos and post-performance votes once the tickets to her November dates at Vegas’ Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino went on sale.

“Every time my mom would like come and say, ‘Darci, they added another show,’ I’d be like, ‘Whaaat?’ It’s just weird because I can’t believe that all those people wanna come see me, like there’s so many. So, it’s just crazy to think about, but it’s also really awesome,” the teenager said, noting her run of Vegas shows eventually doubled from two to four.

“The audiences were great. They were really good. They participated very well, they tuned in, they were all just on the edge of their seats listening. It was really good to have an audience to laugh at your jokes … and cheer for you, because you could really feel that they loved it and supported you.”

The week after Thanksgiving, she announced plans for her "Darci Lynne and Friends Live" 2018 tour, traveling in January and February to five cities: Atlanta; Ledyard, Connecticut; Medford, Massachusetts; Springfield and Kansas City, Missouri. She’s already added matinees for most of the stops.

“I’m super excited for that because all of the tour shows are going to be on the weekend, so I don’t miss school,” said Darci, who missed her first two days of seventh grade to compete on “America’s Got Talent.” “Right now, I’m kind of fresh and out there … so we thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and get some shows in so people can see me. So many people watched me and were requesting me to come to places. So, we thought it’d just be nice to just go to a few places so people can get a chance to see me if they didn’t get to come to Vegas or if they’re not coming to Oklahoma.”
