Kylie Frey Receives a Standing Ovation on America’s Got Talent

Written by

Nashville, TN Cowgirl country favorite Kylie Frey made her debut on NBC’s ratings buster America’s Got Talent (AGT) on Tuesday. Frey performed a poignant self-penned original “Horses In Heaven,” earning a standing ovation from the audience and praise from the judges. Simon Cowell posted her audition on socials calling her “song and performance, brilliant.”  AGT Host Terry Crews added her performance was “beautiful.”  Frey was blown away when the queen of country, Reba McEntire took to socials posting “Us Rodeo girls have to stick together.  Loved your AGT audition Kylie!”  

The Louisiana-born and raised rodeo queen was a high school rodeo state goat-tying champion who sang the national anthem at every rodeo she entered in an effort to kickstart her musical career.  Her signature sound is comprised of original, often poignant lyrics delivered by smooth and soaring vocals. Equal parts sweet and sassy, Frey is driven by grit, determination and the never say die attitude she acquired coming up in the no-nonsense world of rodeo.  Her music and style are as authentic as the dirt on her boots.

Frey has had a banner month performing her self-penned “Horses In Heaven” on The Grand Ole Opry,  WSM’s Coffee, Country and Cody, and America’s Got Talent.  She was elated to make her debut on The Grand Old Opry saying it was “life-changing to step into the circle.”  She was also thrilled to perform for Simon Cowell on AGT saying “It meant the world to be here to perform for you.”

Frey was overcome with emotion when she learned that her hero Reba had posted support and praise for her audition and is overjoyed that the judges have advanced her forward into the live rounds. 

Frey was in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico performing the night her audition aired on AGT. She’ll co-headline the Your Bar Now tour with Tyler Halverson this fall making stops in Denver, Colorado Springs, Cheyenne, and Greeley.
