A piano was brought out to center stage for Brice to perform “I Don’t Dance,” which brought an extra special meaning to the night. During Brice’s performance, a young couple made their way to the aisleway to dance along with Brice, when midway through the song the young man got down on one knee to propose. His girlfriend tearfully said yes and had the crowd celebrating along with them. After the song, Brice noticed the proposal and congratulated the couple and professed he was very happy to be able to be a part of their special moment.

After the proposal, Brice continued his performance singing “Drinking Class” and “I Drive Your Truck,” which had the whole theatre lit up with cell phone flashlights. He closed out his set with his song “Rumor,” leaving the crowd in anticipation for the encore.

As the band reemerged to the stage, Brice performed his hit “One of Them Girls,” with the energy of the crowd increasing even more. The joyful energy from the night carried with everyone as they left the theatre recounting the amazing events of the night.
