At the very end of the Democratic National Convention Tuesday, Hillary Clinton made a surprise experience during the end of Alicia Keys" performance.

Following a long day including the official roll call nomination of Clinton and speeches praising Clinton"s capacity for leadership, Keys took the stage with a backing band to play a medley of songs including "Superman" and "Girl on Fire."

As Keys dramatically played drums, the screens behind her lit up in digital frames featuring all the former presidents before the cracking sound of glass was heard and the screen appeared to shatter to reveal Clinton, via satellite from New York.

Don"t worry, it was only a video effect.

It was a reference to the glass ceiling of the presidency that Clinton considers herself very close to breaking, having become the first woman ever nominated as the presidential candidate for a major American political party.

While Donald Trump made his presence known all four nights of the Republican National Convention, it looks like Clinton couldn"t restrain herself either, and didn"t want to wait for her speech Thursday night.

Women are the answer. We have the power to ensure that this country gets on the right path, Keys said while sitting behind a piano. I dedicate this song to the Mothers of the Movement and all mothers who have lost their sons and their daughter to senseless violence.

Until we deal with gun violence in this country, we cant claim home of the brave.

Wheres my Bernie people? Keys later yelled to the crowd.

Wheres my Hillary people? she asked.

Its time to be unified! Keys said before launching into her song In Common.

The audience was then treated to a video montage of photos of past presidents. The video abruptly cut to glass shattering, revealing a live feed of Hillary Clinton figurativelybreaking through the glass ceiling.

I cant believe we just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling, Clinton told the crowd from New York. This is really your victory, this is really your night.

I may become the first woman president, but one of you is next, the Democratic party presidential nominee said, as the camera panned out, showing her in a room surrounded by women and young girls.
