Talk about a birthday to remember! Seven-year-old Cecilia melted hearts when she joined Ella Langley and Riley Green on stage to sing their hit duet “You Look Like You Love Me” during the Barefoot Country Music Fest on June 22.

The sweet surprise came just one day after the song celebrated its first anniversary—and what better way to mark the milestone than with an unforgettable performance featuring the most adorable guest star??

 

It all started earlier in June, when Cecilia’s mom, Ally, posted a TikTok of her daughter singing the song while enjoying a snack. The clip quickly caught Ella Langley’s attention, who couldn’t help but comment, “I’m obsessed with her.” That simple interaction sparked a chain of events leading to a real-life meet-up—and a moment on stage that fans won’t soon forget.

Originally, Ally was just hoping for a birthday shoutout from Ella. Instead, Cecilia got to sing alongside Ella and Riley Green in front of a crowd—and absolutely owned it. As the crowd cheered and the song wrapped up, Ella beamed and encouraged her young fan with a cheerful, “Get it, girl!”

The duet, released on June 21, 2024, has had a huge year—winning multiple CMA and ACM awards, including Single of the Year, and earning double platinum certification. But that night, all eyes were on Cecilia, whose charm and confidence wowed everyone.

Riley Green later commented on the video, saying simply, “Stole the show.” Even Noah Cyrus chimed in, calling the moment “the cutest thing.”

Happy birthday, Cecilia—you made country music magic!
