Selected comments (posted throughout the day)
ChloeGoodmanOfficial: An absolute angel! 🤍 You completely stole the show last night, babe! 🎬✨
chloesenglishrose: @ChloeGoodmanOfficial Why did you turn around during the second verse and then look furious?
goodmaniac: @chloesenglishrose Maybe because the song is about a man taking a young woman’s virginity and leaving her a note. I was furious too.
celluloidqueen: @ChloeGoodmanOfficial you were angry at someone. Who is he? I hope you had words with him afterwards!
bamasweetheart: The film version is gorgeous but hearing you sing it with just your guitar felt like having you back home again ❤️
southernstarlight: An entire orchestra in the film and somehow one guitar made the song feel even bigger.
acousticangel: Please release this arrangement. The change in the bridge and the restrained final chorus were beautiful.
londoncountrygirl: Never heard of you before last night. I’ve now bought both albums. Hello from your newest British fan!
alabamagirl_92: WELCOME TO THE FAMILY ❤️
celluloidqueen: Lovely photograph. Beautiful performance. Anyway, who was standing at the back?
tennesseetornado: @celluloidqueen We made it six comments.
celluloidqueen: @tennesseetornado I showed admirable restraint.
shardpartyguest: I was there and the room was completely silent during “You Made Me.” You could hear people crying.
sweetheart_sarah: Why did she sing “You Made Me,” though? It wasn’t one of the planned songs.
kaylavforever: @sweetheart_sarah Because she met someone at the party who reminded her why she wrote it. She literally said that.
musiccity_mel: She said the song was part of the reason she was standing there. That doesn’t mean the person was in the room.
framebyframe: @musiccity_mel She looked towards the same place at the back seventeen times.
tennesseetornado: @framebyframe You counted?
framebyframe: @tennesseetornado Yes.
celluloidqueen: @framebyframe Chloë knew where to look.
goodmaniac: @celluloidqueen Because Kayla was looking there.
celluloidqueen: @goodmaniac Exactly.
acousticangel: Could everyone stop investigating the audience long enough to appreciate that vocal?
countrymusicdad: My daughter made me watch this before school. I’m not normally interested in her music, but the young lady can certainly sing.
nashville_nina: Management posting the calmest possible photo after Kayla emotionally demolished forty thousand people online.
southernstarlight: This photograph says “successful film-première performance.” The video says “I found the man who broke my heart and made him listen.”
bamasweetheart: @southernstarlight We do not know that.
southernstarlight: @bamasweetheart I know. But the video certainly says it very loudly.
kaylavforever: The way she says “I still love you” while looking past the camera. I AM NOT OKAY.
sweetheart_sarah: @kaylavforever Is anyone ever going to tell us who he was?
tennesseetornado: @sweetheart_sarah Not if he has any sense.
KaylasSweethearts_Fanpage: The white cocktail dress with the vintage sunburst Gibson is a WHOLE MOOD. 🕊️🎸 You look breathtaking!
LondonFashionDiaries: @KaylasSweethearts_Fanpage Need details on this dress immediately! 😍🔥 Such a classic silhouette against that gorgeous London skyline.
LiveMusicJunkie: The acoustic arrangement of the movie theme gave me CHILLS. Just you and a guitar is all we ever need. 🙌🎶
SouthernBelleStyle: That soft little smile ... she is GLOWING. ✨✨ Can’t wait to see what else you do while you’re in the UK!
CountryRadioUpdates: A superstar performance! 🌟 London is lucky to have you.
HeartbreakKid99: I’ve had “You Made Me” on repeat since the live stream ended. 😭 Whoever inspired that song better be hiding today, but thank you for the masterpiece! 💔👏
Kayla Valentine Official: Thank you, London! What a night. My full performance from The Shard is now on YouTube. #AWomansWork #NeverSendAMan

Marilyn Williams: We all watched from Beaverbrook last night. You made us proud, young lady. That city looked beautiful behind you. Miss you.
Cedar Grove Baptist Church, Beaverbrook (Page): We are lifting Kayla up in prayer for continued blessings on her career! So proud of this hometown girl 🙏✝️
Sandra McCall: The orchestral version works wonderfully for the film, but I preferred the acoustic performance. It allowed the lyrics to breathe.
Nancy Turner: My daughter has followed Kayla for two years and always said she was better live than on the radio. I understand what she means now.
Patricia Ellis: The last song brought me to tears. You could tell it came from somewhere very real.
↳ Margaret Lowe: I felt almost uncomfortable watching it. Not because it was inappropriate, but because it felt as though we were witnessing something private.
↳ Patricia Ellis: Yes. That is exactly what I meant.
Deborah Franklin: Who was she looking at during the last song?
↳ Karen Walsh: Probably her manager or somebody giving her cues.
↳ Deborah Franklin: Her manager was beside the stage. She was looking towards the rear of the room.
↳ Elaine Foster: How on earth do you know where her manager was?
↳ Deborah Franklin: There are photographs from the party.
↳ Elaine Foster: Of course there are.
Laura Jenkins: Some people in the YouTube comments are suggesting she was singing to one of the actors. Is there any truth in that?
↳ Rachel Morgan: The principal actors were all near the front.
↳ Laura Jenkins: Perhaps it was somebody from the supporting cast.
