The “AGT” judges — Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Melanie “Mel B” Brown — have each been given one more Golden Buzzer to use during this round, so who got the Golden Buzzer on “America’s Got Talent” season 20 tonight?

We have your “AGT” spoilers right here to let you know which act got one of the judges to hit the Golden Buzzer and move them directly to the “America’s Got Talent” season 20 finals.

Live Shows Begin on ‘AGT’ Tonight

For tonight’s episode of “America’s Got Talent” season 20, we have the first week of performers for the Quarterfinals. They will perform tonight for America’s votes. Then we will have the first results show on “America’s Got Talent” 2025 tomorrow night.

The auditions are over, and now the judges have all been given one more Golden Buzzer to use during these quarterfinal rounds. Did any of the judges use theirs tonight on “AGT” season 20? Find out below!

Live Golden Buzzer Assigned

Sofia Vergara is in charge of the Live Golden Buzzer tonight. She gets to decide who goes straight into the finals. America’s votes will put the other three acts through this week. We have to wait and see who she picks for tonight on “America’s Got Talent” season 20.

8:23 pm – We have seen both LightWire and Charity Lockhart (both Golden Buzzer winners this season) perform. Sofia did not give either of those acts her Live Golden Buzzer, so we continue to wait.

8:44 p.m. – We have now seen Phobias and CitiLimitz also perform, and it was mixed reviews from the judges, which meant neither of them got the Live Golden Buzzer from Sofia.

The Buzzer Has Been Hit

We made it halfway through tonight’s show, but the Live Golden Buzzer has been handed out. Steve Ray Ladson came out and performed another original song. He had the crowd excited and on their feet.

It’s country music, but with a twist. There is something special about it, and he’s got such a strong stage presence.

Terry Crews went to the judges for feedback, and Sofia was up first. She said that Steve is a superstar, but she didn’t like this song. She actually loved it, as she proceeded to hit the Golden Buzzer for him!

Steve is moving directly to the finals on “AGT” season 20. What do you think of this Live Golden Buzzer pick tonight on “America’s Got Talent” 2025?
