Laurie Hernandez Can't Keep Her Cool When She Has a Surprise Meeting with Tori Kelly

After taking home a gold medal at the Olympics and winning America's hearts on the latest season of Dancing with the Stars, Laurie Hernandez is a star in her own right. But that didn't stop her from having a total fangirl freak-out when she met singer Tori Kelly.

The surprise – which was caught on tape – came before the 16-year-old gymnast performed with Final Five teammates Aly Raisman and Simone Biles at the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions on Saturday night.

A woman shaking hands with Hernandez says she wants to introduce a "friend" of hers, then Kelly turns the corner and the Olympic champion can barely believe her eyes.

OH. MY. GOSH!!! @torikelly (don't worry, I said hi to the little girl) pt 1.

Kelly returned the sentiments, sharing the video and tweeting, "Just got to surprise this cutie before she hit the stage so glad we finally got to meet!! you're a sweet soul."
