Turns out Millie Bobby Brown wasn’t just getting boy advice from those phone calls with Drake. She was picking up a few rap tips, too.

The “Stranger Things” star surprised the crowd at Maroon 5′s show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sunday night with a performance of the band’s hit single “Girls Like You.”

Brown, of course, appeared in the music video for the empowering song alongside a host of others, including singer Camila Cabello, gymnast Aly Raisman, Ellen DeGeneres and Cardi B, who raps on the remix of the track.

Cardi, however, is busy turning looks at Milan Fashion Week, so Brown rapped her verse on stage instead, sporting some very on-trend tiny sunglasses and two top knots.

“soooo 2nite was insane. “i love @maroon 5 and my dear friend @adamlevine,” she wrote alongside a video of her performance on Instagram, adding a few fire emojis for good measure.

The video was well-received by Levine’s wife, model Behati Prinsloo, who wrote “YAAASSSSS I’M DEAD!!!!!” in the comments.

Brown’s Netflix co-stars Noah Schnapp and David Harbour also chimed in, with the latter writing, “Go to beeeeeed!”

Brown later revealed that she “was not nervous” at all and actually vowed to get on stage again. For the record, she would be more than welcome to do that at the Super Bowl halftime show in February, where Maroon 5 will reportedly be the headline act.

The 14-year-old has proven herself to be quite the Cardi B fan. She and Schnapp showed off their dance moves to the rapper’s song “I Like It” at a pre-Emmy party in Los Angeles earlier this month.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article misidentified Cardi B’s song “I Like It.”
