Olivia Rodrigo delighted some seriously lucky fans when she decided to play an impromptu gig at Bunny Jackson's dive bar in Manchester.
The 'Good 4 U' singer, 19, took to the stage alongside the house band after performing at a sold-out gig at the O2 Apollo earlier that night.
Footage of the incredible performance was posted to Twitter with the caption: "Why yes Olivia Rodrigo, of course you can turn up at Bunny Jacksons on a bloody Sunday evening and play a song for a laugh before our 3rd set [sic]."

One of the musicians elaborated: "They just showed up after playing the arena and her TM asked to jump on between our sets! They were all very lovely."
In footage of the impromptu performance, Rodrigo could be seen living her best life as she sang 'Torn' by Natalie Imbruglia to the absolute delight of the bar.

Reacting to the footage, one fan wrote: "if that happened to me i would think i was making it up [sic]."
"I love this so much," added a second, while a third speculated: "Omg I would’ve acc passed out [sic]."
This comes after Rodrigo recently won legions of new fans after criticising the US Supreme Court for overturning Roe V Wade and effectively banning abortion for millions of women. Watch below:
Before singing 'F**k You' with Lily Allen, the 19-year-old Grammy-award winner said: "This is my first Glastonbury, and I'm sharing the stage with Lily which is the biggest dream come true.
"But I'm also equally heartbroken over what happened in America yesterday. The Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe vs Wade which is a law that ensures a woman's right to a safe abortion.
"I'm devastated and terrified, so many women and girls are going to die because of this. I wanted to dedicate this next song to the five members of the Supreme Court who have shown us at the end of the day that they truly don't give a sh*t about freedom."
The singer then named each member of the Supreme Court who overturned the landmark 1973 ruling before shouting: "We hate you".
Rodrigo's actions went down an absolute storm on social media.
One fan wrote: "Olivia Rodrigo at Glastonbury name dropping the justices of the Supreme Court who voted to overturn Roe v Wade 'we hate you' and then singing f**k you by Lily Allen to them yea that's my girl."
"Olivia Rodrigo calling out every member of the Supreme Court on Glastonbury stage and then proceeding to sing f**k you by Lily Allen. We have to Stan," added a second.
