"I love her songs because it is easy to understand, and her expressions are clear."

SAVANNAH DAHAN

Savannah was born deaf, like her father Richard Dahan, who shared his daughter's amazing skill of singing along to music videos. He shared:

"We really didn't realize the skill she had until we saw the TV behind her with the captions, and she was really able to identify with the words. She really identifies with that song."

A SWEET INVITE

Underwood previously invited a little boy, Connor, who also had a disability, to perform with her on stage to sing "Little Toy Guns," at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati.

Connor, an 11-year-old with Tourette syndrome, was among the crowd at the concert who stood out for holding a sign that caught the singer's attention.

According to his mother, Connor has been a fan of the singer for a while, especially the song “Little Toy Guns,” which “hits home” for the 11-year-old.
