Singer Jacob Lewis of Butlerville, Newfoundland and Labrador, made a major impression on Canada’s Got Talent 2025 when he earned the coveted Golden Buzzer from none other than country music superstar Shania Twain. This marked Twain’s first season as a judge on the show — and her emotional response to Lewis’s raw, heartfelt performance sent him straight to the semifinals.
Not only did Lewis secure his spot in the next round, but he also received a $25,000 prize from sponsor CIBC, which will help fund his musical journey. Twain, who grew up in Timmins, Ontario, has long been an advocate for emerging talent from rural areas and saw in Lewis a genuine artist deserving of recognition.
With this powerful endorsement, Jacob Lewis now takes center stage as fans eagerly follow his journey through the rest of the season.
