Like any competitive show, America's Got Talent has a set of rules for participants and judges to follow, the better to make the process run smoothly and fairly. Following an audition, acts need three buzzers of approval for the judges before proceeding. Each individual judge can use their Golden Buzzer once, which automatically advances an act. The singing trio Chapel Hart ended up delivering a performance so powerful that these traditions flew right out the window.
