Aidan, 18, was named the winner of America's Got Talent: All-Stars and won the $500,000 grand prize based on Super Fan votes that poured in for the finalists.
"This is crazy! I am so thankful. This is crazy y'all!" Aidan gushed following his victory. "Thank you so much. This means so much to me."
During Monday night's AGT: All-Stars finale broadcast, Aidan performed a routine onstage with American Idol alum and current Queen frontman Adam Lambert. The pair was also joined by another finalist act, The Bello Sisters.
Aidan first competed on Season 16 of America's Got Talent in 2021, where he finished as the runner-up behind magician Dustin Tavella.

"The last time I was on, Season 16, I didn't know what I was doing. I learned literally everything that you've seen in two years," Aidan told People.
"I wasn't super confident with my choreography and music choice, but now that I came back on this season, I was just ready to get it... I am super honored to [be the No. 1 aerialist]."
Saxophonist Avery Dixon finished the competition in second place.
America's Got Talent: All-Stars judge Simon Cowell said there were "no losers" this season and both of the Top 2 acts were "winners, genuinely."
