Kanye West is known to go on stage and show some sort of emotion—whether it's angrily talking about Kid Cudi or about his White House aspirations.

Fans caught a tender moment from West, who was floating on stage above the Miami crowd during his Sept. 17 show, when he noticed a fan wearing a shirt that memorialized his late mother Donda West.

Her forearm was also emblazoned with artwork from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and he was so moved by her, he gave her a special shoutout.
