Morristown-Beard Student Zac Taylor Impresses Judges on AGT

Zac Taylor ’22, a rising senior at Morristown-Beard School, recently auditioned on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and received four enthusiastic ‘yeses’ from judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara.

For his audition, which aired on July 20th, Taylor sang “Best Part” by Daniel Caesar. “During quarantine I was on TikTok more than I should’ve been,” explained Zac, who was born in the U.K. “I saw people singing every day, saw someone singing ‘Best Part,’ downloaded it, listened to it, and it became my favorite. Just suits my voice, too.”

The next show is expected to air on Tuesday, August 10, when the judges will reveal which 36 acts will advance to the live shows.

Last March, Zac competed in the Morristown ONSTAGE competition and finished 2nd overall. At Morristown-Beard School, he is a member of the Upper School Chorus and has performed for the community as part of several All-School Meetings as well as the School’s CultureFest last spring.
