Farmer is in it to win it.

“I am definitely really competitive,” she said.

“That’s the whole reason I wanted to do it because I missed the competition and I wanted to get back into it because it’s just really fun and awesome and exciting.”

Farmer, who has already filmed the segment that will air Jan. 14, said she tried to step up her game — bigger and better songs, funnier jokes — for the battle of champs.

Was there a level of comfort because Farmer has been on AGT before?

“Not really,” she said. “Every time I try to perform live, it’s still the same nerves. I don’t ever not get nervous. It’s always nerve-wracking, but at the same time, it’s OK. You’ve done this before. You can do it. But it’s still really scary.”

Farmer said she was excited to be around not just past AGT champions but performers from other countries.

“Meeting those people was amazing.” Among those she mentioned were Cristina Ramos (2016 “Spain’s Got Talent” winner), Jackie Evancho (2010 AGT finalist) and Paul Zerdin (2015 AGT winner).

Judges will be executive producer Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel. The host is Terry Crews, star of NBC’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”
