Kane Brown’s Reaction to Young Fan’s Sign Melts Social Media’s Heart

Earlier this year, country star Kane Brown celebrated his 11th No. 1 song, “I Can Feel It.” But it isn’t only the “Miles On It” singer’s music that keeps fans loyal. Brown made a special connection during a recent show in Colorado that still has fans sobbing.

Kane Brown Brings Crowd “To Our Knees” With Sweet Fan Interaction

Kane Brown stopped at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, on Friday (Sept. 6) as part of his In the Air Tour. During the show, he noticed a sign held by a young boy in a black Kane Brown shirt and cowboy hat.

“Bullied for the color of my skin,” the message read. “I just want a hug from Kane.”

Brown made that happen. In a Saturday (Sept. 7) Instagram post, the first picture shows the little boy beside him, holding his sign. In the next slide, the two are exchanging that hug.

“Be yourself , don’t worry about others but also try and be kind,” Brown wrote in the caption. “Treat others how you would wanna be treated tonight was amazing Colorado but this touched my heart.”

We all know that words can hurt, and there’s no taking them back once they’ve been said. But a hug from your favorite country star can certainly lessen the sting, at least a little.

“I’m crying !!! This is my son and a very true story,” commented the Instagram user @amandaab12three. “Thank you for an amazing show and an amazing experience… His first concert and he met his hero.”

Added another person, who apparently attended the concert: “This show was absolute 🔥🔥 but this moment brought us all to our knees.”

Brown Can Relate

Kane Brown has spoken openly about his own experiences with racism as a young child. The ACM Award winner, 30, was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to a white mother and a father who was part Cherokee and part Black. Raised mostly by his mother, Brown told People in November 2018 that he wasn’t aware of his racial identity until he experienced bullying from middle school classmates in Georgia.

Although he “got in fights” over his skin color as a child, Brown said he was able to move past it as he got older.

“They just made me stronger. I guess it was God,” he told People. “Hopefully I can help kids and they can end up being stronger in the long run, too.”
