The aftermath of “America’s Got Talent” was a big adjustment for Angelica Hale, who came in second place during Season 12. “After I went on ‘AGT,’ I was always bombarded with performance requests, and I was traveling left and right,” Hale told The List. “And I had to adjust to that very quickly, and it’s honestly been a rollercoaster.”
Throughout “American Reject,” viewers are taken on quite a ride, too. From laughing hysterically at the one-liners to wanting to cry alongside Kay as she navigates her new normal, the up and down emotions are extremely accurate, according to Hale. “‘American Reject’ does an amazing job of showing the harsh reality of it,” she told us.
While shooting her final scene in the film, Hale even felt as though she was back on the stage of “America’s Got Talent.” “It felt like I was reliving that moment of being in the spotlight, of being on stage, and giving my heart and soul out,” she explained. Yet her favorite part of the entire process was being able to relive that moment repeatedly throughout filming. “I could do it over and over again,” she said.
