Keith Urban made two young fans’ dreams come true during his Las Vegas residency when he noticed their homemade, battery-powered signs shining from the audience. The country star was performing when he spotted the signs and even used a pair of binoculars to read them.
It turned out the signs belonged to five-year-old Connor and his little sister Emma, who had traveled all the way from California with their parents just to see their favorite singer perform live. When Urban realized the signs were being waved by two small children, he couldn’t resist inviting them onstage.
“You guys both wanna come up here? Come up here. You’ve got battery-operated signs,” he said, laughing.
These kids were more than just casual fans. Connor was dressed in a Keith Urban t-shirt and was pretending to strum along with a toy guitar, while Emma was decked out in a sparkly pink outfit, complete with glittery cowboy boots.
Once they were onstage, Connor told Urban that this was his fourth time seeing him in concert. But his mom quickly corrected him—it was actually his fifth because she had taken him to a Keith Urban show when she was pregnant with him.
“Oh, that’s insane. Amazing,” Urban said. “Was he kicking all night long?”
Urban then had a quick chat with Connor and found out that his favorite song was Where the Blacktop Ends, a hit song from 1999. When Urban asked if he wanted to learn to play the guitar one day, Connor took a long pause before answering, “Maybe!”—which made the audience laugh.
Connor’s homemade sign revealed that he had already checked off several dreams related to his favorite singer. During previous shows, Urban had signed his guitar and even given him a guitar pick. But one dream was still left—getting a photo with Keith Urban. That dream came true right there onstage.
Connor’s mom later posted about the experience on TikTok, sharing how much the moment meant to the kids. In the comments, she revealed that it had inspired Connor to start learning music himself.
“It’s all the kids can talk about,” she wrote. “Connor’s birthday was on Wednesday after the concert, and he told me, ‘I figured out what I want for my birthday, Mom! I want to learn how to really play guitar.’”
Fans who missed the Las Vegas show will have another chance to see Urban perform. His High and Alive World Tour is set to begin this spring in 2025.
