Nene Royal, whose actual name is Rattikarn Amloy, is a 16-year-old rock guitarist from Phuket, Thailand. She has made history by becoming the first Thai contestant to win America's Got Talent. The teenager impressed audiences and judges with her heavy metal performances during the show's 21st season. Nene's victory was secured after she performed Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes during the finale in California.
She outshone nine other finalists, including magicians, canine acts, and a robot dance crew. Nene's win was marked by her emotional reaction and a performance of The Emptiness Machine with Linkin Park just before the winner was announced. The teenager had become a fan favorite early in the competition, with her audition for Zombie by The Cranberries going viral and garnering around 20 million views.
Her triumph was celebrated across Thailand, with Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul praising her for bringing honor to the nation and inspiring the Thai people.
