“America’s Got Talent” judge Sofia Vergara gives her Golden Buzzer to a 10-year-old singer.

Vergara just gave Roberta Battaglia a boost in her journey towards her dream. On Tuesday’s (June 2) episode, Battaglia’s “AGT” audition was aired on NBC. Battaglia was joined by her mom at the audition.

“I feel like I'm just dreaming, but it's actually real life, and I can't believe it!” Battaglia said. “I might only be 10 years old, but I have big dreams.”

All the judges were shocked when they learned about Battaglia’s age. Heidi Klum later told Vergara that her daughter is the same age and would never get up on stage and perform in front of so many people.

“It's amazing what you just did,” Klum said.

“It's so beautiful,” Vergara added.

Battaglia burst into tears after realizing that the judges gave her a standing ovation following her performance. The “AGT” panel of judges were so impressed that Simon Cowell couldn’t help but say, “That wasn't you singing, was it? It wasn't someone behind you?”

“You know what, you are so likable, so humble -- bearing in mind you've got this great [talent].”

Battaglia shared that she gets bullied. The “America’s Got Talent” producer then reminded her that there is one way to win over the bullies and that’s by being happy and successful.

“Bullies are always threatened by talented people, so in a weird way it's a compliment and it shows your strength,” Simon added.

Vergara couldn’t contain her joy after seeing Battaglia’s performance. She also boosted her confidence by giving her the Golden Buzzer.

“You're 10 years old, it's impossible to sing like that at 10 years old,” the judge said. “And you know what? Let's see who is going to bully you after this!” Vergara adds, stands and slams the buzzer.

The youngster also expressed her love for the “Modern Family” star after earning the Golden Buzzer from Vergara.

“Let me just say, I love you and I watch you on ‘Modern Family.’ I just adore you,” Battaglia added.

“AGT” Season 15 airs every Tuesday on NBC at 8 p.m. ET.
