"The auditions continue as a variety of acts featuring contestants of all ages auditions for the chance to win the $1 million prize; the golden buzzer allows a lucky act the chance to go directly to the live shows to compete for America's vote."
Trap choir group Sainted was the second performance on AGT for the night. The group consists of black singers, primarily based in Charlotte, North Carolina. According to Talent Recap, they got together during the pandemic with the aim of getting black singers and musicians together and paying tribute to the southern black church.
