In the new video, VanderWaal sits in front of the camera while wearing a long red dress over a white T-shirt. The singer strums an acoustic guitar. For a little over one minute, she performs “Home,” showing off a husky voice on the folksy track.
“Gotta get back to my cursive roots every now and then,” VanderWaal wrote to caption the video. “Cursive” is a way of describing a type of singing that has become popular in recent years, in which singers stretch vowel sounds.
This new performance from VanderWaal is similar to what she did on her season of AGT, as she strummed her ukulele and performed original songs. Since then, the singer has released two EPs and an album called Just the Beginning.

What Do Fans Think of the New Cover?
As of this writing, VanderWaal’s “Home” cover has over 600,000 likes on TikTok. This is impressive, considering many of her recent TikToks haven’t broken 10,000 likes. Fans made sure to share their love for the video in the comments.
“I missed your cursive singing,” wrote one user, adding that the performance gave them “chills.” Another user wrote, “This is the most beautiful cover of this song I’ve ever heard.” Someone else commented that she’s “matured so much.”
Other users seemed shocked to discover that it was VanderWaal in the video. They were apparently more used to seeing her as a 12-year-old on AGT. One user was shocked to see that the singer has tattoos now.
