12-Year-Old’s Emotional Song at Parents’ Vow Renewal Goes Viral – Even Calum Scott Takes Notice
Renewing wedding vows is always a deeply touching moment, but when a loved one plays a key role, it becomes even more unforgettable.
Aiden, a 12-year-old with a passion for singing, recently captured millions of hearts when a video of his heartfelt solo at his parents’ vow renewal ceremony went viral on TikTok.
Shared by videographer Danielle Tufano on April 12, the emotional three-minute clip has already amassed an impressive 4.6 million views and more than 871,000 likes.
A Special Song for a Special Occasion
Dressed to the nines for the occasion, Aiden was more than ready to give his parents a gift they’d never forget. He revealed that the idea for him to perform came from his mother, Kemorene Mills-Armstrong. Without hesitation, he agreed, already knowing exactly which song to sing: You Are the Reason by Calum Scott.
“I chose the song because I find it really sentimental, and it’s very sweet,” Aiden shared. “I love my parents, so that’s why I decided to sing it at their wedding.”
Though excited, Aiden admitted he was a bit nervous standing in front of so many people. “But I was also really happy to be there and sing for my parents,” he recalled.
Overcome with Emotion
As the first few notes filled the room, Aiden became overwhelmed with emotion, wiping away tears before regaining his composure. Though he wavered at the start, his love for his parents carried him through, allowing him to deliver a deeply moving performance.
“I got very emotional in the beginning, but after that, I let go of all those feelings and just sang from my heart,” he said.
His heartfelt rendition struck a chord with everyone in attendance. His mother, Kemorene, recalled how the room was filled with tears as he sang.
“When he started, I was already emotional,” she said. “And then I heard all our guests crying in the background, which made me even more teary-eyed. I had to look up to stop myself from crying too much. It was such a special moment.”
A Performance That Touched Millions
Kemorene and her husband, Kirkland Armstrong, renewed their vows on March 23 in Port St. Lucie, Florida, surrounded by their three sons, family, and friends.
Aiden’s love for music was evident as he poured his heart into every note. Though he was visibly emotional at first, he soon found his rhythm, delivering a performance that left a lasting impact.
With dreams of honing his talent, Aiden hopes to take singing lessons and one day meet his musical idols. In addition to Calum Scott, he is a huge fan of Bruno Mars and Charlie Puth.
A Star in the Making
Aiden’s mother had originally posted a clip of his performance on her own TikTok account, but she was shocked when the videographer’s post went viral.
“I never expected this,” she admitted. “But reading all the positive comments online has been overwhelming. I’ve been crying so much because I just can’t believe how much love he’s receiving.”
The emotional performance even caught the attention of Calum Scott himself, who commented:
“WHERE IS THIS BOY SO I CAN HUG HIM RIGHT NOW?!?! You killed it, buddy. Your parents must be so proud of you—as am I!”
A Moment to Remember
What was meant to be a private family celebration quickly became a viral sensation, spreading joy far beyond the ceremony itself.
Kemorene reflected on the incredible response, saying, “It’s such a special time for all of us. Even at his school, all his friends and teachers know about it—the principal too! It’s been amazing.”
