I'd bet that many teen girls spent their weekends dancing to "Hotline Bling" — but only one of them got to have Drake himself perform it at her Bat Mitzvah. Yup, the famous rapper and the Rihanna "Work" video co-star made dreams come true on Saturday, reports Complex, when he performed his hit song at a New York City Bat Mitzvah. It's not the only time Drake has made a surprise appearance, captivating audiences with his willingness to take part in an event and have a little fun, but it's definitely one of the best. And while it's unclear how the Bat Mitzvah girl got him to perform, it clearly wasn't Drake's first time at an event like that. The rapper is Jewish, with his own Bar Mitzvah — which was depicted in his music video for "HYFR" and in his 2014 appearance on Saturday Night Live — happening years ago. He knows it's a big night for a teen.
The identity of the birthday girl and the info about how Drake got there is currently unknown, but who cares? When that Bat Mitzvah bling, it can only mean one thing — that Drake is going to make your night amazing. At the event, he sang his hit song "Hotline Bling" for the teen crowd, and the lucky birthday girl sang and danced along with the 28-year-old rapper to that song and "My Way." It all goes to show that Drake is a pro at impromptu performances that captivate us all. Watch the Bat Mitzvah videos below and revel in its cuteness.

Drake Surprises Fans At The Weeknd's 2012 Concert
Let's flashback to 2012: The Weeknd was an up-and-coming Canadian singer and fellow Canuck Drake dropped by one of his concerts at Hollywood Forever. It wasn't entirely random, though. The Weekend is credited as one of the producers of Drake's album Take Care, which included many songs The Weeknd wrote for his own album. "I gave up almost half of my album," he told Rolling Stone last year. "It's hard. I will always be thankful — if it wasn't for the light [Drake] shined on me, who knows where I'd be."
Keep these amazing surprises coming, Drizzy.
