Ahead of the premiere, Cowell said he’s “really excited to meet the contestants” who will audition this year on the iconic AGT stage. “Over the years, we have seen some amazing acts and met some truly incredible people,” he said. “It’s true that two or three minutes can change your life.”

Longtime AGT fans will recognize one singer who’s grown up since her first audition. In Season 20’s trailer, Jessica Sanchez reveals to the Judges that she was on the first season of AGT and Vergara says it’s a “special moment” that she’s back once again. 

“Being 10 years old on AGT played such a massive role in me believing in something bigger for myself, for my voice. What a huge blessing it is to be able to come back and chase after my dreams again after 20 years,” Sanchez wrote on Instagram. “Can’t wait to see what God has in store for me.”
