Nene Royal leaves Phuket for America's Got Talent live shows

Sixteen-year-old Thai rocker Nene Royal has left Phuket for the live shows of America's Got Talent in the United States, saying she is ready to improve on her previous performances.

Nene, whose real name is Rattikarn “Praew” Amloy, travelled from Phuket International Airport on Wednesday with her father, Narong Amloy, her mother and her younger brother. The family was due to fly to Suvarnabhumi Airport before continuing to the United States.

Speaking to local reporters, Nene said she had rehearsed intensely in recent days and aimed to perform better than in the competition’s previous two rounds. She also said she had prepared a special surprise for fans and appealed to Thai people in the United States to vote for her.

Nene’s performance in the AGT Live Shows is scheduled for 25 August 2026.

Her father said the family had given her full support throughout the competition. They had learned from their experiences and mistakes in earlier rounds and would work to make the next performance perfect, he said.

The 2026 AGT semifinals and finale are scheduled to conclude on 23 September 2026.
