At 81 years old, Evelyn Williams proves that it’s never too late to follow your passion. A lifelong performer, this incredible great-grandmother decided to audition for Ireland’s Got Talent — and left everyone speechless. With years of experience under her belt, Evelyn confidently took the stage, and when she began singing Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns,” her powerful, emotional voice brought the house down.

Her performance moved the judges and audience to tears, culminating in a standing ovation. So much so that one judge couldn’t hold back and pressed the Golden Buzzer, sending Evelyn straight to the next round.

Overcome with emotion, Evelyn burst into tears, unable to believe what had just happened. Her performance is a reminder that it’s never too late to chase your dreams and share your gifts with the world.
