On a night full of surprises, it was one bold and brilliantly campy performance that completely stole the show. Ben Trigger, an Australian burlesque dancer with a larger-than-life personality, strutted onto the Americaโs Got Talent stage wearing a gold paisley jacketโand by the end of his routine, confetti was raining down for a very unexpected reason.
From the moment he began his comedic striptease, Ben had the audience laughing, cheering, and gasping. He mixed high-energy dance moves with dramatic flair, even throwing in a few high kicks and chair stunts. The judges looked stunned, entertained, and slightly confusedโin the best way possible.
But just when you thought the act was over, Ben did something no contestant had done before: he ran to the judgeโs table and slammed the Golden Buzzer himself. Gold confetti exploded from the ceiling, the crowd erupted, and the entire panel sat in disbelief as he danced underneath his own celebration.
Though his buzzer press wasnโt official,ย Ben Trigger became an instant viral legend. His performance was cheeky, fearless, and completely unforgettableโreminding everyone that sometimes, if you want a dream moment, you just have to take it yourself.
