And yesterday little Sophia Grace Brownlee, 8, and her cousin Rosie Grace McClelland, 5, from Essex, England, got the surprise of their lives during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The talk show host introduced the pair, who were both dressed in their now famous pink ballerina outfits and tiaras, to their idol after they performed a lively rendition of her hit song.
Sophia Grace, who wowed the crowd with her impressive vocals, squealed with delight as the pop star emerged from backstage.
She immediately jumped into the singer's arms and threw her arms around her.
Rosie, who dances and offers support while her old cousin sings, also gave her a hug.

The pop star said she was so impressed when she first saw the clip, which has now been viewed more than eight million times.
"Within five seconds of seeing this video I was calling everyone," the 28-year-old said.
"I was also receiving a billion emails. Everyone was like 'you have to see this little girl'. She blew me away. I have a hype man and you have a hype girl."
She added: "I said 'superstar'. Seriously, we are watching a journey that’s about to be amazing."
She told Sophia: "You are incredible. I just want you to stay in school. Music is beautiful but stay in school ok. Put your books first and singing second."
