Zach Bryan Makes Australian Girl’s Dream Reality

Author Nancy Brooks // Country Writer, Beasley Media Group

Zach Bryan has just returned home from a trip to play shows in Australia. While he was there, he made a little girl’s dream come true. Zach was playing a show in Melbourne, Australia, on Saturday (12/9) and noticed a sign in the audience. It was at that moment that a little girl’s world would change.

While performing, he saw the sign that read: “4 years old: check. Middle of chemo: check. Go to Zach Bryan: check.” There was also one unchecked box on her sign: “Meet Zach Bryan.”

After he saw the sign, he motioned for the girl to be brought to the front of the stage, where a security guard was holding her. He jumped off the stage, signed the sign, and patted the little girl with Leukemia on the back. Then he got back on stage with some help from a band member.

The end of the video shows the girl singing every word as Bryan sang on stage.

A family member at the show posted the video to TikTok and wrote, “Laylah’s dream fulfilled. #zachbryan #zachbryanconcert #zachbryanmusic #melbourne #fyp #leukemia #cancer.”

Many fans reacted to the video, including one that wrote, “This is why Zach Bryan is the greatest musician of all time.” Another fan said, “I was at the front and cried when he signed your sign; she’s just so gorgeous, so glad you ticked it off beautiful xx.”
