It's become a signature of Bryan to invite fans on stage to take a stab at singing one of his tunes. Sometimes, it ends well. Other times, you get a performance like below that sounds more like karaoke night. Bryan had to save his song "Heading South" by redoing it after two fans butchered it.

Other times, Bryan discovers a potential star in the making. A stop in New Jersey left Bryan rocking on stage with a young fan to the same song.

Zach Bryan Connects With His Fans
In an interview with KTVB, one fan Molly Johnson requested Bryan sing "She's Alright" because she connected with the themes of loss. Both Bryan and Johnson lost their mothers. "It just hit home, right. And it meant a lot to me," Johnson said. "So, I started making these videos every day in hopes that he would just agree to play it."
Bryan finally saw the request on TikTok.
"He commented and he had seen it," she said. "And not only did he say that he was going to play the song, he invited me to come up on stage and play, which was amazing."
It was a moment that Johnson will never forget. Neither will any of the other fans that have shared the stage with Bryan.
"People have been so supportive. I've gotten comments from people who have also lost their mom," Johnson said. "And that's just means so much to me. And then to get on stage, and to have everyone sing it along with you, and to know who you are because of the TikTok and just to support you so much. It is truly the most incredible feeling ever. And I feel so lucky."
