Keith Urban sang a 10-year-old girl the birthday song of a lifetime during his performance at London’s Budweiser Gardens on Saturday.

It began when Urban started scanning the audience to get a look at signs in the crowd.

One sign in particular caught his eye, and it belonged to a 10-year-old girl named Ella Hantz from Brantford.

Shortly after, he called Ella’s entire family down to the stage.

“I was really determined to try and get a birthday shoutout,” said Ella’s mom, Maria Hantz. “We had tweeted, we made the shirt, we made the sign.”

Speaking with Matt Weaver on Country 104, a soft-spoken Ella described the experience as “pretty great.”

Urban performed alongside Lindsay Ell in London as part of the Graffiti U World Tour.

Ella added that no concert will ever be better than her 10th birthday.
