Ally looked radiant in a shimmering black gown and her hair pulled back tight in a classic bun when she came out to perform I Could Fall In Love. The singer, who was born in Texas, sang as the evening gown portion of the night began. She then continued the tribute with Dreaming of You. Selena’s sister Suzette Quintanilla was in the audience and expressed her excitement at having Ally sing her sister’s songs.
