Keith Urban is known for inviting talented fans on stage to perform with him, but one young girl’s performance left a lasting impression. During Sunfest 2015, Urban brought 11-year-old Lauren Spencer Smith on stage to sing a duet of “Make You Feel My Love.” The result was pure magic.
Before calling Lauren on stage, Urban praised her talent, saying, “She’s got an amazing little voice, and she’s only eleven.” He had been holding contests for fans to sing with him, and although Lauren didn’t win, Urban was so impressed with her voice that he wanted to share the stage with her.
Lauren’s performance was nothing short of stunning. Her powerful voice and confident stage presence belied her young age, and Urban was clearly impressed. The two sang together in perfect harmony, creating a moment that the crowd would never forget.
“Make You Feel My Love” is a timeless classic written by Bob Dylan, and it has been covered by numerous artists over the years. But Lauren’s rendition with Urban was something special. Her talent and passion for music shone through, and it’s clear that she has a bright future ahead of her.
The duet was a highlight of the festival, and it’s a testament to Urban’s generosity and commitment to nurturing new talent. By giving Lauren the opportunity to share the stage with him, Urban helped create a memory that she will cherish forever.
