The Voice is famous for delivering epic moments between the coaches and the incredible talent vying for a place on the show. Season 25 seems to be carrying on that tradition, as Dan + Shay provided the ultimate memory for one contender and someone special in her life.

On the March 11 episode of the NBC series, Dan + Shay, Reba McEntire, Chance the Rapper and John Legend met 20-year-old college student Zoe Levert. For her blind audition, she performed Little Big Town’s “Better Man,” written by Taylor Swift. At the last minute, John pressed his button and turned his chair, meaning she’ll be joining his team for the next round.

While joining The Voice on John’s team was exciting for Zoe, she also had to tell new coaches Dan + Shay how big of a fan she is of their music. She introduced her fiancé, Ryan and revealed that their upcoming wedding song will be Dan + Shay’s “From the Ground Up.” Upon hearing this, Dan + Shay got out of their chairs to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime surprise for Zoe.

“I’m getting married next year, my fiancé’s here. Our first dance song is ‘From the Ground Up,'” she told the country stars.

“No! Are you serious?” Shay exclaimed.

“Bring him up!” Dan added. “Do we have a guitar here?”

As Ryan appeared on stage alongside Zoe, Dan + Shay asked if they could sing a little bit of the song for the couple as “a rehearsal for [the] wedding.” Ryan and Zoe were thrilled by the prospect, and they slow danced on stage while the country artists stunned the crowd with an incredible rendition of their tune.

“Now I’m gonna cry, this is a great moment!” Chance said, before taking out his phone to film the performance from his chair. By the time Dan + Shay finished serenading the couple, everyone in the room was on their feet giving a standing ovation.

“Only on The Voice, folks. Only on The Voice,” John summed up.

Upon seeing the impromptu performance play out on television, fans couldn’t stop commenting on the talent Dan + Shay possessed on stage.

“I did not know that Shay had that amazing of a voice! Holy cow!!!” one person exclaimed on YouTube. “DAN + SHAY LADIES & GENTLEMEN! Who wouldn’t cry with that as your first dance?” another declared. “John will be a great coach with her! OMG Dan and Shay! That was amazing never tire of Shay’s voice it’s magic!!!” a different viewer added.

Congrats to Zoe, and we can’t wait to see more of her on The Voice!
