Kane Brown's wife Katelyn Jae graduated from college over the weekend and, to celebrate, Brown planned a little surprise for her.

Kane posted a video of Katelyn Jae walking into a surprise party this morning with the caption, "Congrats baby I might celebrate for you the rest of the year #collegegraduate"

Katelyn Jae herself posted a pic of she and her husband at the graduation ceremony and wrote on Saturday in Instagram, "Today was one day I will never forget. I’m not going to write anything too sappy, but finishing my education was the most rewarding thing I have done for myself thus far. If you are thinking whether or not your going to get your degree or if you can get through the years of college ... DO IT !"

She continued, "This was the best decision of my life !! I spent a lot of days trying to get good WiFi on the bus to turn in assignments, or sitting finishing homework watching everyone else have fun around me, or thinking do I actually need to do this? I had to ask for help along the way & some days needed extra encouragement, it was by no means “easy” .... but here I am on cloud 9 and got to walk across the stage with our daughter and cannot wait to teach her one day to be a strong, independent woman and that she can do anything she wants to in this world!!! Congrats to all the other graduates across the world and thank you @berkleecollege for giving me the tools and education that I will carry with me the rest of my life! Thank you to my family & friends ! And of course my amazing husband @kanebrown_music who made me feel that getting my degree was so cool and continuously expressed how proud I was making him."
