Teyana Taylor received a "beautiful surprise" when Janet Jackson visited her after a recent concert in London.

On Tuesday, both Taylor, 31, and Jackson, 56, posted a selfie they took together on Instagram after Taylor's Sunday performance at the O2 Academy Brixton. Taylor also included a video of Jackson surprising her backstage after the show in her Instagram post of moments from the performance.

The video shows Taylor — who is currently performing shows on her The Last Petal 2… Farewell Tour — and other people in the room burst into laughter as soon as the "Gonna Love Me" singer enters and sees Jackson waiting to see her.

"Y'all play too much!" Taylor told her entourage upon spotting Jackson, who said she "really enjoyed" the show and embraced her. "Stop, c'mon — I almost wet my pants."

In August 2017, Taylor cited the "Control" musician as "my idol" in an Instagram post and paid homage to the iconic singer by wearing an inspired outfit when she won an MTV Video Music Award for best choreography, honoring her work on Kanye West's "Fade."

"Anyone that follows me knows I STAN for her," Taylor wrote at the time.
