The meme has become the master. Viral sensation Mason Ramsey, aka the Walmart Yodel Boy [1], made his Coachella debut on April 13, causing the audience (and the internet) to lose their minds [2]. After his singing video in Walmart took off, the 11-year-old appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show [3] and was given the opportunity to perform at the Grand Ole Opry and now Coachella.

During his set, DJ and producer Whethan brought Mason on stage — cowboy hat, belt buckle, and all. According to Mason's Instagram [6], he wanted to "bring the country to Coachella," and it looks like he succeeded! He also got the chance to meet a fan: festival-ready Justin Bieber. The 24-year-old singer also rose to stardom seemingly overnight early on in his career. The two shared a truly sweet interaction behind the scenes [7], with Justin telling Mason he's "so proud" of him, and asking about his flight and overall visit to California. He then smartly advised Mason to drink lots of water — they're in the middle of the desert, after all!
