He’s taking home the top prize of $1 million, a brand new Kia car, and a headlining show at Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
“This has been the strangest thing to process. … This is what I was hoping for; this is what I was praying for. … It’s like you feel everything in you, every emotion you’ve ever felt is like flooding at the same time. But it’s insane, man,” Tavella told Entertainment Tonight.
“Literally, I’m a 9-year-old boy dreaming of chasing the things that I love, falling in love with magic. And here I am years later … standing on the stage and hearing my name called [as] the winner of the show, it’s crazy. It’s more than I could have ever asked for or dreamed of.”

Just before the show started, judges Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara stole the spotlight from the contestants in their sparkling outfits while hitting the red carpet at the Dolby Theater.
The 48-year-old German model highlighted her slender figure in an Oscar de la Renta Fall/Winter 2021 corset-style top. It features a boned bodice that’s intricately embellished with crystals and a dramatic floor-sweeping black tulle train on one side.
Highlighting her $2.2 million insured long legs, Heidi paired the look with slim-fit black trousers.

The mom-of-four jazzed up her stunning ensemble with large crystal chandelier earrings and statement rings.
She then wore her long blonde tresses down in soft waves and added a pop of bold red lip color to match her nails. Rumored to have undergone plastic surgery, the German-American model further glammed up with glittery smokey eyeshadow, mascara, and eyeliner.

Earlier this month, Heidi and Sofia set pulses racing while having dinner at Beverly Hills’ swanky E Baldi’s restaurant after filming for the AGT live show.
Flaunting her model physique, Heidi slipped her curves into a David Koma Fall 2020 mini dress. It’s crafted from crepe and features a revealing cutout with a sparkly sequin and crystal-embellished bra cup that displayed her cleavage.
