The tween had been the season 11 frontrunner before she officially won "America's Got Talent" earlier this week. She's been compared to the 26-year-old pop diva since judge Simon Cowell called her "the next Taylor Swift" following her performance on her first audition.
"To even have someone think about comparing me to someone like that is just truly a blessing," Grace humbly said of the comparisons in a recent interview.
In addition to Taylor, a bunch of other A-list celebrities have congratulated Grace on her win. "@GraceVanderWaal Congrats! You have it. Protect it and keep [playing ukulele] and [writing songs]...it will always serve you," Katy Perry tweeted. "Congratulations Grace! You really do SHINE!" Jason Mraz also said on the social media.
