7-Year-Old Girl Steals the Show Singing “You Look Like You Love Me” with Ella Langley and Riley Green

Sometimes the most heartwarming moments in country music come from the most unexpected voices—especially when they belong to a 7-year-old fan living out her birthday dream on stage.

At the Barefoot Country Music Fest on June 22, rising star Ella Langley and country chart-topper Riley Green surprised the crowd by inviting a very special guest to join them in singing their platinum-certified hit, “You Look Like You Love Me.” That guest? A bright-eyed little girl named Cecilia, who captured Ella’s heart—and the internet’s—weeks earlier with a simple TikTok video.

A Viral TikTok Moment Turns Into a Dream Come True

Cecilia’s journey to the stage began when her mom, Ally, posted a sweet clip on June 5 of her then-six-year-old daughter singing “You Look Like You Love Me” while enjoying a snack. The video quickly caught the attention of Ella Langley, who commented, “I’m obsessed with her.” That one sentence set the wheels in motion.

Ally then posted a follow-up video, hoping Ella might record a short birthday message for Cecilia. Instead, Ella went a step further: she invited the young fan to meet her in person—and even perform live on stage with her and Riley Green.

A Performance to Remember

As Ella and Riley began their set at the festival, the crowd was treated to more than just their usual high-energy duet. With Cecilia by their side, the artists recreated the hit just as it was meant to be—only this time, with even more heart.

The duet’s original version, released June 21, 2024, quickly became one of the biggest country music hits of the year. It’s been certified double platinum by the RIAA, and won numerous awards, including:

• CMA Country Musical Event of the Year

• ACM Single of the Year

• ACM Visual Media of the Year

• ACM Music Event of the Year

Just one day after the song’s first anniversary, this live performance added a layer of celebration that no one saw coming—and no one will forget.

As the final notes played, Ella turned to Cecilia and encouraged her with the words:
“Get it, girl.”

Celebrities React

The moment didn’t just warm the hearts of fans in the audience—it also touched big names across the music world. Country star Riley Green posted the clip on social media, captioning it simply:
“Stole the show.”

Noah Cyrus, the youngest daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, chimed in with a comment that echoed what everyone else was thinking:
“This is the cutest thing.”

A Birthday She’ll Never Forget

Cecilia not only got her birthday wish—she became a viral sensation and part of a milestone moment in country music history. Her smile, confidence, and love for the song turned a standard festival appearance into a moment of pure joy that fans will replay for years to come.

Happy Birthday, Cecilia! 🎉
