Country singer Garth Brooks lost his mother and sister to cancer, and when a woman suffering from Stage 3 breast cancer traveled from Iowa to Minnesota to attend his concert hours after enduring invasive treatment last Friday, Brooks made sure to take the time to help her check some items off of her bucket list.

Teresa Shaw has been battling breast cancer for the last five months, but undergoing invasive treatment hours earlier couldn’t stop her from attending Brooks’ concert on Friday and hearing him perform her favorite song, “The Dance.” However, when Brooks saw Shaw’s “Chemo this morning, Garth tonight, Enjoying the dance” sign, he turned an ordinary concert into a truly magical night for her.

“I was just hoping he would see [the sign] and maybe if I could get him to get it signed,” said Shaw. “The next thing I knew, another usher was coming up to me and were like, ‘follow us.’ And they took me to the very front, right in front of him.”

Brooks asked Shaw to hand him her sign, and then addressed the entire sold-out Minnesota venue.

“If God would just give a big ol’ hand that comes out from the sky and write, ‘I exist,’ then there would never be any doubt, right? Well I want to tell you right now, God just stuck his hand out,” said Brooks, before he pointed Shaw out to the crowd. “You have all my strength. You have everybody’s strength in here. You go kick cancer’s a–!”

Brooks then sat on the side of the stage and sang “The Dance” directly to Shaw, and after the emotional speech and performance, he gifted her with his guitar, which she told KARE-TV she will “cherish forever.”

“This is so cool. This is right on top of my bucket list, I think,” said Shaw. “Last night is a boost I really needed.”
