Tony reflected on how the song brought him strength in the face of the horrifying attack, telling Ellen: "The lyrics to that song are so powerful. I play it and play it because it is so beautiful."

Ellen then asked the 31-year-old singer whether he'd ever met Katy and when he replied "no" she asked Katy to join them on stage!

And his reaction is EVERYTHING!

"I just wanna say thank you for everything you did. Your lyrics to that song helped me from the day that I was in the hospital, all the way to now," Tony told Katy.

Katy also had her own surprise for the survivor, telling him: "I’ve heard that you’re creative just like me. I personally want to pay for your first year at film school."

It's too much! Get the tissues ready, you're going to need them.
