In a jaw-dropping audition on America’s Got Talent Season 20, the powerhouse sister act The BoykinZ stole the show—and Terry Crews’s heart—with their original song “Fell In Love With A Cowboy.” Their emotional performance earned them host Crews’s coveted Golden Buzzer, securing a fast-track to the live rounds and igniting buzz across the country.

Hailing from Snellville, Georgia, the four sisters—Kylan, Anale, Nytere, and Alona—delivered a performance that perfectly blended Western charm, R&B smoothness, and pop flair. With tight harmonies, choreographed flair, and acoustic guitar accompaniment, they captivated both audience and judges alike. One judge praised their “synergy” and vocal harmony as “beyond” compare, setting the stage for a Golden Buzzer moment.

Simon Cowell declared it “almost a perfect audition,” urging viewers and judges alike to recognize the sisters’ star potential. Meanwhile, Mel B lauded their energy and commitment to the craft. The crowd’s spontaneous chants for the Golden Buzzer echoed the irreversible momentum of their performance—and before Howie could even speak, Terry Crews dashed down to press it, saying, “The audience asked for a golden buzzer, and I’m gonna give you one!”.

The BoykinZ aren’t newcomers to blending genres. They’ve already built a name online as the “Black Girls of Country Music,” gaining attention by opening for notable acts such as The War & Treaty and Shania Twain. The quartet ranges in age from late teens to early 20s, and each sister brings something unique: Kylan handles choreography and direction, Anale serves as the stylist, Nytere adds guitar and rap flair, and Alona delivers soaring soprano vocals and anime-inspired energy.

They rose to viral fame posting on TikTok during the pandemic: as Nytere shared with BET, “TikTok is so random… It was great to see all the fans react to us.” In November 2024, they signed with Quality Control Music, cementing their move into the professional music world.

Originally written during the pandemic, “Fell In Love With A Cowboy” evolved from a breakup tune into a confident anthem. With Grammy-winning producer Nathan Chapman (best known for Taylor Swift) at the helm, the track celebrates the classic Southern gentleman—witty, kind, and deserving of admiration.
