Today was a great day for Lady Antebellum - and one special fan.
Country super-group Lady Antebellum earlier this week launched "7FOR7," a week-long campaign in which the band travels across the country to surprise and fulfill seven wishes for seven fans in seven days. The special endeavor preceded the release of their fifth studio album "747" available in stores now.
The third day of the campaign evolved into something really special.
Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood, fresh off their "747" album release in New York yesterday (Sept. 30), stuck around the city to surprise 9-year-old New Jersey native Kate Koval during her trip into Manhattan today (Oct. 1), according to The Green Room.
Koval was taken in by her grandparents as a baby after her parents died, and then adopted by her aunt after the death of her grandmother. Shortly after she moved in, she and her aunt lost their home in Superstorm Sandy.
Koval's aunt, who nominated her for the surprise, took her niece on a visit to the American Girl Store in New York City, where the little girl was told she'd be given her own special doll. As Koval shopped, the musical trio walked up behind her and caught her by surprise. Scott presented Koval with the doll and the trio also told the girl and her aunt that they will be receiving a year's worth of groceries with the help of Crock-Pot Slow Cookers.
Koval was all smiles and she exchanged high-fives with the trio.
