GMA co-host Michael Strahan just made his daughter’s day with a surprise visit from some special guests, including rapper Fat Joe and her “favorite person ever,” Bryson Tiller.

Isabella Strahan is currently battling medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer. And she’s sharing her journey online on a YouTube series she launched in partnership with Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center to inspire other young people living with cancer. In a March 13 video post titled, “I WENT TOTAL FAN GIRL WITH BRYSON TILLER,” Isabella shares the emotional experience of meeting the singer/rapper with her followers.

The video captures dad Strahan setting up the surprise for the 19-year-old University of Southern California student, who is visibly moved when she sees the “Don’t” singer walk through the door.

“It’s Bryson Tiller!” she says as the two share a hug. And she can barely compose herself as she goes through four hilarious takes to introduce the video post to her viewers.

“All your coolness is out the window right now,” Michael teases his daughter as she tries to keep it together.

Strahan tells Isabella that Fat Joe helped put the big surprise together after seeing a post on her YouTube channel telling viewers that she listened to Tiller’s music during her radiation treatments. He hoped that a visit from the artist would bring a smile to her face after a long road of rehabilitation, which included relearning to walk.

Tiller didn’t come to Strahan’s house empty handed: He brought a bouquet of live flowers and a LEGO flower set the two built together during his visit. Of course, Isabella had to take a moment to FaceTime her twin sister, Sophia, to share her excitement. At the end of their time together, Isabella told Tiller that she’d had the “best Wednesday ever.”

“Thank you for coming to see me. This made my whole life,” she said.
