During her 2012 “Blown Away” tour stop in Louisville, Kentucky, country superstar Carrie Underwood gave one young fan an unforgettable experience — and a moment that quickly went viral. When a 12-year-old boy in the crowd held up a sign asking for his first kiss, Carrie brought him on stage and surprised everyone by saying yes.

A Bold Sign, A Surprising Response

The fan, named Chase, was sitting close to the front row holding a handwritten sign that read:
“Carrie, be my first kiss?”

Underwood saw the sign and couldn’t resist addressing it. She paused the show, read the sign aloud into the microphone, and said with a laugh, “How old are you?” When Chase responded “Twelve,” Carrie joked, “Well, I won’t go to jail for that!”

The crowd erupted in laughter.

Moments later, Carrie Underwood leaned in and gave the young fan a quick kiss on the lips — a moment that sent the arena into cheers and applause.
