Lauren Daigle’s concert on Sunday night was one to remember.
During her concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, Daigle welcomed formerAmerica’s Got TalentcontestantAva Swissto the stage — and together, they delivered an emotional performance for the crowd.
During the performance, the duo sang Daigle’s 2018 track “Remember” — which holds special meaning to Swiss, as she’s also anOxford High School shooting survivor.

During the performance, Swiss, 18, took a moment to thank Daigle for the opportunity. “I wanna say thank you to you because it’s things like this that keep my saying going, that love is stronger than hate.”
Later, Daigle explained that Swiss had started an organization called42 Strongin honor ofher friend Tate Myre, who died during the 2021 shooting in Michigan. She then presented her with a $25,000 check, which Daigle donated through herPrice Fund.
Swiss is widely known forher appearance onAGT, where she revealed in July that “Remember” helped guide her through her experience.
“Back on Nov. 30, my brother and I were a part of the Oxford school shooting,” Swiss explained at the time. “We’ve lost four of our students and seven others were injured, one of which was a teacher.”
When judgeSimon Cowellasked how she’s been doing since the tragedy, Swiss told him, “It’s been hard. I remember my brother and I, we were talking to each other and we said, ‘There’s no way we’re ever stepping foot back in the school.’ But we’ve actually been in person in the school for about two months now, so things are getting better.”
“I remember being on the stage and thinking, ‘Wow, you’re really here. It’s really happening.’ I mean, all my life, all my childhood I watched the show and I always kind of dreamed that I would be able to be on that stage one day,” she says. “So when I was there, and then on top of it, getting all of the positive feedback, I felt very, very proud of myself… It was an overwhelming amount of happiness.”
