At just 4 years old, Kai Langer, a viral superfan of Bruno Mars, got the chance of a lifetime when he met the star backstage on The Ellen Show. No one was prepared for just how adorable Kai would be when mingling with some of the world’s biggest celebrities! He took it all in stride, made superstar connections, sang with Bruno Mars, and even got some new clothes!
In the clip, young Kai is sitting backstage when Bruno Mars joins him, waiting for a reaction. Kai shyly looks at the camera, seemingly unaware that a world-class superstar is right beside him. After Bruno warmly greets him, Kai lights up and gives him a sweet hug. This leads to the two of them singing Bruno’s hit song, “Uptown Funk,” together. You can watch their charming interaction in the clip below:
Not only did Kai get to sing with Bruno Mars backstage, but he also had his moment in the spotlight during his appearance on The Ellen Show! The surprises didn’t stop there; while Ellen was interviewing him, Kai was gifted his very own dazzling pink suit, just like the one Bruno Mars wore in the “Uptown Funk” music video! In his childlike excitement, he could only express his gratitude to Ellen by saying, “Thank you! I love you so much!” It was a pure and heartwarming moment between the host and her young guest.
Throughout his career, Bruno Mars has sold a staggering 130 million records worldwide. His success is due not only to his eclectic range of songs, from heartfelt ballads to joyful, carefree tunes, but also to his impressive vocal range. Mars effortlessly switches from romantic crooning to catchy raps and can break out a dance routine to match. It’s no wonder he’s one of the best-selling artists of all time.
This wouldn’t be Kai Langer’s only appearance on mainstream television. He returned to The Ellen Show at eight years old, where he performed a lovely rendition of Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.” He melted the audience’s hearts once again and received a huge surprise when Ed Sheeran himself appeared on stage!
