Camila Cabello made a couple’s wedding day unforgettable after giving an impromptu live performance of her emotional ballad “First Man.”

The pop star, 28, reportedly met the bride and groom just one day before their ceremony at a hotel bar. After connecting with the couple, Cabello agreed to attend their wedding — and stunned guests when she performed the heartfelt track, which she originally wrote about her father.

The performance quickly spread across social media, with attendees sharing clips of the surprise moment. Fans praised Cabello’s willingness to celebrate such a personal occasion with strangers, calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime memory.”

“First Man,” released in 2019 on Cabello’s second studio album Romance, gained attention when she performed it at the 2020 Grammy Awards as a tribute to her father. The emotional lyrics made it a popular choice for father-daughter dances at weddings, and Cabello’s live rendition at the fan’s celebration brought many attendees to tears.

The couple later thanked Cabello for the gesture, with guests describing the performance as the highlight of the evening. Social media reactions emphasized how rare it is for a major pop star to perform at a wedding in such a personal, intimate setting.

The singer is currently promoting her latest music while preparing for upcoming performances, but her unexpected wedding appearance showcased a more spontaneous, heartfelt side of the Grammy-nominated artist.
