In a stunning display of raw emotion and musical talent, 28-year-old Kylie Frey from Opelousas, Louisiana, took the America’s Got Talent stage barefoot—paying homage not only to her rodeo roots but also to the man who shaped her musical journey: her beloved grandfather.
Kylie’s original song, Horses in Heaven, wasn’t just a performance—it was a soul-stirring tribute to the man who always believed in her. Her grandfather, a guiding force in her life, encouraged her to sing the national anthem at rodeos, hoping she’d one day follow in the footsteps of country legend Reba McEntire and grace the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) stage.
From the moment Kylie opened her mouth to sing, it was clear she wasn’t just another contestant—she was an artist pouring every ounce of her soul into her music. Her voice, rich with authenticity and emotion, transported the audience into her world, where love, loss, and faith intertwined beautifully.
As the song built to its heartfelt climax, the AGT crowd was left spellbound. The moment the final note faded, a wave of applause erupted into a standing ovation, sealing Kylie’s place as a standout performer of the season.
Her journey is proof that music isn’t just about notes and lyrics—it’s about stories, memories, and the people who shape us. Kylie Frey’s audition was more than just a song; it was a testament to love, faith, and the enduring legacy of family.
