Prepare to feel very, very old. How old? Maybe as old as a big tree. Or dinosaur bones.

According to Guinness World Records, they have found the world's youngest opera singer. We didn't know they were looking, but it's nice that they've found her.

The record-keeping organization said Victory Brinker, from Latrobe, Pennsylvania, earned the record at the age of 7 years and 314 days after participating in eight professional performances at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre's Lights and Legends show in 2019.

Victory, now 10, made history on July 6th, 2021, when she became the first America's Got Talent performer to receive a Golden Buzzer from all four judges. Watch that here!

The big lunged nipper told Guinness, "I was an early talker and started singing at age 2. Between age 2 and 3, I was memorizing entire CDs with good pitch. I was always singing!"

Victory said she became interested in opera shortly before her 6th birthday, when she was introduced to the art form by her mother, Christine. Adopted as a baby, Victory has ten other siblings.

"I love the challenge of the difficult arrangements, the technique required to sing, all the runs, and the different languages all the arias are written in," she said.

Victory was surprised with her record certificate during Lo Show Dei Record, Guinness' Italian TV series.
