American Idol contestant Layla Spring got the surprise of a lifetime during the show’s finale!

“I was honored to be asked by American Idol to surprise Layla and Dyxie Spring on the season finale,” LeAnn said in a statement.

She added, “The American Idol team can sure keep a secret! The sweethearts had no idea; it felt like a surprise birthday party! The two of them bring so much joy to the world, and I hope I was able to give them a little of it back.”
