"I needed to be right there," she said, "to look at my son at all times to see the expression on his face and, you know, see if he's crying. I put him on the phone with our pastor immediately. I knew that nothing in my career, no television show, nothing was more important than that."

The country singer's departure had an effect on the show's other stars. "Sara was cool and I miss her a lot," said fellow contestant Mario Lopez. "We dedicate this night to Sara and wish her nothing but the best."

One person who will have a chance to work with Evans again is her professional dance partner on the show, Tony Dovoloni. Evans announced that she's tapped him to choreograph her tour next year.

Evans closed by thanking her fans for being supportive.

"I have felt so much love and support from the fans, even before all this happened," she said. "It's so humbling and I'll never forget it. I will never forget every second of this experience. I just want to, you know, thank everybody from the bottom of my heart and I will come back for the finale if I'm invited."
