From America's Got Talent to starring in Disney movie Talent shows are often bashed for not giving their contestants a platform that is built on concrete but Grace Vanderwaal is proving the tide has turned. The significance of her success is that Disney took an AGT winner who came out of nowhere. She doesn't have a star studded family or a famous last name. Disney gave her a shot by seeing how powerful and influential she had become on and since America's Got Talent. Hopefully this will shit all the talent show haters. That said Simon Cowell saw the star power in her and called her the next Taylor Swift but from the looks of it, she might be the first Grace Vanderwaal.
