Music is a powerful medium that can convey so many emotions that even words fail to, which is perhaps why it's no surprise that musicians charge so many big feelings into their songs. It's incredibly moving to see an artist be so attached to what they're singing, as well as to see them feel moved by the crowds singing along with them.
Oftentimes we don't realize it, but we're seeing artists' dreams come true when they're up on stage, which is enough to make anyone watery-eyed. But beyond that, we're also seeing their most vulnerable emotions. And, sometimes, when the moment is right, singers will break into tears as they belt out their songs.
Whether they're touched by the immense support from their fans, or they're remembering the person their song is about, many stars have broken down in front of a crowd. Click through to see some of the most touching moments.
