Sagi, a 31-year-old Israeli dog trainer living in the city of Kfar Saba, took to the grand stage of the popular TV show and performed in front of industry giants like Simon Cowell, Terry Crews, actress Sofia Vergara, and model Heidi Klum. Although skeptical at first, Rhythm's clear dancing talent quickly won them over and captured the hearts of viewers, emerging as one of the season's most popular acts.
Their latest performance at the AGT finals got more than 2.6M likes on Instagram, with Sagi's follower count reaching almost half a million. One of her account's featured performances from the show includes a yellow ribbon, appearing to be an homage to the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza.
Although their participation in the show comes at a time of controversy surrounding Israel since the Israel-Hamas war broke out after Hamas' deadly attack on Oct. 7, it seems the duo's popularity on the show and social media bridges those gaps, uniting audiences across the world.
