Mikayla Booth went viral for using Auslan (Australian Sign Language) to interpret the lyrics of an Alex Warren concert in Brisbane for her deaf partner, Nyle McQuitty.
The Viral Concert Moment
- The Background: Mikayla Booth and Nyle McQuitty managed to score last-minute tickets to the Alex Warren show at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
- Lack of Accessibility: The venue could not provide an Auslan interpreter, and they were not allowed to bring an outside interpreter.
- The Preparation: Wanting her partner to fully experience the music, Mikayla researched the setlist online and practiced signing the tracks—including songs like "Save You a Seat"—during her car rides in the days leading up to the show.
- The Reaction: A video capturing Nyle staring lovingly and appreciatively at Mikayla while she signed touched millions of viewers worldwide online.
