Motherly duties called and Katelyn Brown was unable to join Kane Brown on the road this weekend, so the country superstar got a little help from his fans when singing his latest chart-topping single.
During recent shows in Denver, Colorado and Albuquerque, New Mexico, fans filled in for Katelyn when Brown sang “Thank God.” Even though Katelyn wasn’t there to add her angelic vocals to the mix, fans sang along to every word as they lit up the venue with their cell phone lights.
The beautiful moment was captured by Brown in a selfie-style video and later shared on social media.
He Turned To His Dedicated Fans To Help Him Sing The Duet
“Kate had to stay home this week for Kings dance recital so the crowd helped me 💪🏾 Denver, Albuquerque y’all rocked it thank y’all! 🔥,” the superstar shared.
Katelyn had a good reason to be at home as she played the role of dance mom all weekend for their eldest daughter, Kingsley’s first-ever dance recital.
The proud mom documented the milestone moment on Instagram with an adorable video taking fans through their recital day, beginning with her makeup session. She also showcased clips from her dance and the sweet moment she received a bouquet of flowers after her time on stage.
