Of course, the 12-year-old said she'll also buy herself a little something: a treehouse from the show "Treehouse Masters," according to people.com.

VanderWaal, who has been compared to such sensations as Taylor Swift, competed in the "America's Got Talent" finale last Wednesday, wowing judges as she'd done since June.

A ukulele player, VanderWaal is to headline a series of Las Vegas shows on Oct. 27, 28, 29 at Planet Hollywood.
