Stop what you're doing, take a deep breath, and prepare for some serious chills, courtesy of Angelica Hale. The 11-year-old singer brought down the house — and made history in the progress — on Monday night's episode of America's Got Talent: The Champions, becoming the first contestant to earn two golden buzzers. Hale, who won her first golden buzzer from guest judge Chris Hardwick during America's Got Talent's 12th season, chose Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" for her triumphant return to the stage, and man, did she slay it!

After she belted out the 2014 hit, judge Howie Mandel said, "If I could do anything, I'm going to help you win this fight," before pressing the confetti-showering buzzer and sending Hale straight through to the finals. Needless to say, Hale was overwhelmed with joy, as she exclaimed, "I can't believe this is actually happening to me . . . this is a dream come true." Watch her stunning performance and adorable reaction ahead, and get ready to see her compete against fellow buzzer winner Susan Boyle and other talented contestants during the finals.
