Lilly Singh has officially lived the dream after the Backstreet Boys pulled her up onstage during their Las Vegas show.
What are the Chances?
The YouTube star, who boasts a following of more than 14 million, didn’t hide her fangirl side as she was filmed being called up onstage by the boys – Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean, and Howie Dorough.
Meanwhile, her friends summed up everyone’s feelings, screaming their hearts out as she strutted her stuff on stage.
Honestly, same.
Back in the crowd afterwards, the star clutched a rose while looking around in disbelief.
The 30-year-old later replied to a fan who tweeted: ‘Backstreet boys just called lilly on stage ..r u kidding me..!!omg! @IISuperwomanII the younger u will be so proud!!’

‘Ded,’ she replied.
Still clearly in disbelief, she added: ‘I can’t believe my life sometimes.’
Meanwhile, Lilly’s had a lot to celebrate recently after she landed her own late night talk show on NBC, taking over from Carson Daly.
A Little Late With Lilly Singh will launch in autumn and will see the Canadian star interviewing famous faces, and doing what she does best – creating and starring in comedy sketches.
Lilly pointed out in a statement: ‘An Indian-Canadian woman with her own late night show? Now that is a dream come true.’

She quipped: ‘I’m thrilled to bring it to life on NBC, and I hope my parents consider this to be as exciting as a grandchild.’
The Canadian added during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that the show will premiere: ‘Fallish, probably September,’ and she plans to ‘make it inclusive, add comedy segments, interview people, and really create something that I believe in.’
‘Now I have more than three staff members!’ she marvelled.
The announcement came after Lilly melted fans’ hearts with her powerful coming out message.
Revealing that she’s bisexual, she told her viewers: ‘Female, Coloured, Bisexual. Throughout my life these have proven to be obstacles from time to time. But now I’m fully embracing them as my superpowers.
‘No matter how many “boxes” you check, I encourage you to do the same x.’
We didn’t think we could love her any more, but here we are.
