Juanes mega overhears fan singing his song out loud in the car beside him— so he decided to surprise her

Getting to meet and talk to their favorite artist is a dream come true for any fan. It can feel even more special if the said person gets to see a celebrity they like at an unexpected place. A Columbian fan saw Columbian singer Juanes at a very unexpected place and took a picture with him as well. The wholesome video of the interaction was posted by the singer on his Instagram account, where he goes by @juanes on Instagram.

As the video began, the singer was in his car when he heard a woman sing one of his popular songs, "Es Por Ti," at the top of her voice in the car next to him. "I was leaving my concert and I saw this girl singing ‘Es Por Ti’ in her car and I decided to get close and sing with her," the text overlay of the video read. The singer pulled up next to the fan, pulled down his window and sang along with her. At first, the woman didn't recognize him and continued singing along, thinking he must be a fan too. But soon enough, she realized that it was Juanes and she screamed. "Ah, Juanes, I can’t believe it!" the woman kept saying in Spanish as she came out of her car and ran to the singer's window.

The woman enthusiastically came up and gave the man a big hug. She almost seemed overwhelmed with emotion as she took out her phone to get a selfie with the star. The singer even pointed at the police siren ringing in the background but the woman still managed to take a photo. She kissed his hand after clicking the picture and then went back to her car, still brimming with excitement. Juanes captioned the post in Spanish, "We were leaving our show in Oklahoma City yesterday and this happened. Thank you to all my fans! I LOVE THEM." Maria Camila Zarta, the 28-year-old fan who got to see the singer, told TODAY.com that she was in shock and thought that she was dreaming when all of that unfolded.

"I was singing at full volume. I saw a person and my brain was just processing those seconds of, 'Who is this person?' My goodness, I was in shock! I couldn't believe it! I thought I was dreaming. I couldn’t believe who I was seeing. Out of all the people on the road, how could I run into Juanes?" Zarta admitted. The woman shared that she has been a fan from the time she was a little girl and it was her first time seeing Juanes at a concert. "As an immigrant, you deeply miss your country. And for Juanes to have shared that moment with me, he gave me a piece of my homeland," she pointed out. The woman also posted a video of herself interacting with the star on TikTok, where she goes by @mariacamilatorres63.

If she ever got a chance, the woman would like to tell the singer that it wasn't her 28-year-old self who hugged him, but his 13-year-old self, "who listened to his songs, had posters of him on her walls and sang his songs 'como una loca.' That was the girl that hugged him," the woman shared with the outlet.
