A sea of children dancing to 'Old Town Road' is the best thing you'll see today

The moves! The screaming!
By Chloe Bryan  on 

There's a reason "Old Town Road" has been No.1 for seven weeks straight: Everyone loves it. That includes this gym full of elementary schoolers, who closed out their school's fifth grade talent show with a deeply wholesome mass sing-along.

Felecia Evans, the principal of Landers Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio, tweeted a video of the moment on Thursday. "I love my job," she wrote. "We ended our 5th grade talent show today with the whole school dancing and celebrating...together!!" (Celebrating is right. These small children have more spirit than most concert crowds.)

The kids' enthusiasm even caught the attention of Lil Nas X, who asked Evans when she wanted him to swing by Landers for a free concert. (Evans told Mashable via email that the two are currently trying to figure out the best time for him to visit.)

We can only imagine the dance moves (and screaming) at that future show. Yeehaw.
