Country star Blake Shelton made one six-year-old boy’s dream come true by inviting him onstage to help entertain the crowd during his concert in Oklahoma over the weekend.

Wyatt was a bit hesitant to join Shelton in song at fist, but as the two warbled on, the boy became more confident and the pair ended the soaring rendition to thunderous applause from the audience.

The boy’s mom later posted a Facebook message thanking Shelton for his act of kindness.

“I don’t know if Blake Shelton will ever see this,” Harley wrote, “but I just want to let him know he is awesome and officially my favorite person he absolutely made Wyatt’s day thank you so much to him and everyone who stopped us to tell him how great he was on stage and told him they are praying for him!!! Definitely a night to remember!!! #WyattStrong.”
