"I had a friend that was up in front of the gate that was there earlier than we were so I made my way through the crowd to get [Bridget] to the front just for at least a song," Russo told NBC Chicago."And we ended up staying for most of the show because she was over-the-moon ecstatic that she was that close to Quinn.
But when push came to shove, Bridget kept her composure and sang the lyrics she had only just learned -- much to the surprise of her mother, who was still sitting in the group's seats at the venue. "I was like, 'Oh my God - that's my daughter, oh my God that's my daughter,'" Shannon's mother Laura Shannon told NBC Chicago."It was so exciting.""@Quinn XCII thank you so much for making our night so special," Russo wrote in the caption, adding that he was"making Bridget's dreams come true.""You're not just messing with me you know this song?" the Michigan-native singer asked her.
When she replies that she does in fact know the song, music begins to play and Quinn XCII starts to sing the song as Bridget then joins in."He like stayed with her until she's comfortable and then he just turned it over to her," Laura Shannon said."And that was like such an awesome thing because that was a huge chance he took ... the way he kind of just let her go."
After giving Bridget her moment in the spotlight, Quinn XCII is then seen in the video coming back in to teach her some dance moves and continue to singing as the crowd roars.
