Brad Paisley has proven himself to be quite the romantic after helping a fan propose to his longtime girlfriend during his Saturday night concert in Laughlin, Nevada.

Jason Smith had planned to propose to his girlfriend Courtney Larger during Paisley’s show in Phoenix two weeks ago, PEOPLE revealed. However, a worker thwarted his plan to get close to the stage and Smith missed his chance to be noticed by the singer. That’s when he turned to social media for help.

“I knew Brad appreciates romance,” Smith told the publication. “I had read the story about how he saw his wife in a movie and then cast her in his video, so I knew that he’s a romantic guy and believed in this kind of thing.”

The 30-year-old set up a Twitter account hoping to catch the singer’s eye. “Waited 4 yrs to propose to my gf @ your concert and your guy stopped me…devastated,” he wrote, adding “I actually made this Twitter just to let u know, bc 2 of your songs mean everthing [sic] to us and I wanted to propose to one.”

Sure enough, Paisley noticed and reached out personally to Smith, offering two tickets and meet and greet passes.

“I couldn’t live with the fact that this guy missed his chance to propose during one of my songs in Phoenix. I had to fix that,” the singer told PEOPLE.

To cover up his plan, Smith told Larger that he had won the tickets in a contest and they drove five hours from Tucson to see the show. That’s when Paisley called them up on stage… “It was great – it was surreal,” Smith said. “It made me realize that he really does care about his fans. Who else can look back and say they had that kind of engagement?”

In honor of the couple, Paisley went into his song “Little Moments,” a song he had written while dating his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley.
