The War & Treaty described Jon Bon Jovi's presence on the bridge in Nashville, Tennessee, where he helped save a woman in crisis, as appearing like divine intervention.

Tanya Trotter and Michael Trotter Jr., the country duo, thanked Jon Bon Jovi on the red carpet at the People's Choice Country Awards Thursday night.

The music video for "The People's House," a collaboration between Bon Jovi and The War & Treaty, was being filmed on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville when the incident occurred.

"After finishing shooting a music video, we hugged Jon and left. Twenty minutes later, something happened. Michael said that Jon wasn't originally supposed to walk the bridge, but his team suggested it."
