MORRISTOWN, NJ — A star is shining in Morristown. Zac Taylor, a Morristown-Beard School student, earned four "yes" votes on America's Got Talent.

The young singer has made a name for himself locally, finishing second overall last March in the Morristown Onstage competition. He's also gone viral on TikTok, where he has more than 50,000 followers.

But it's another thing to impress Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel. Taylor did just that though in his audition, in which he sang "Best Part" by Daniel Caesar.
