However, is it true that the U2 vocalist and Simon Cowell gave Princess Ariani an award who advanced to the final round of AGT 2023?
EXPLANATION
Based on a search by the Matamata.com team on Saturday (9/9/2023), there was no digital trace or history of the U2 vocalist and Simon Cowell giving an award to Putri Ariani after passing the semifinal round.
As is known, Putri Ariani performed the U2 song entitled ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’ in the AGT 2023 semifinals on Wednesday (6/9/2023).
After watching it until the end, the 3 minute 56 second video does not have a narrative that is relevant to the existing facts or data.
Instead of explaining the award received by Putri Ariani, the narrator instead discusses permission from the band U2 for Putri Ariani.
