A Boston street musician was surprised when the artist who made a song she was singing famous appeared in the crowd.

Radha Rao has been performing as a busker for the past few months. When she started performing a song by John Legend in Faneuil Hall on Sunday, seeing the man himself was probably the last thing she expected.

But there he was all the same:

People were so excited for Rao.

Rao, a 22 year old singer and recent graduate of Boston University, performed "All of me" by Legend. As she was singing, she noticed a man in a trench coat stop and watch her performance.

She told the Associated Press she didn't recognize him at first, until he took off his mask.

Rao said:

"What are the odds that John Legend is in town, in the area you're performing, as you're singing his song? Beyond believable!"

Some people asked if she sang the song because she saw him in the crowd, but a rendition of the song is a regular part of her two-hour set she performs at Faneuil Hall.

It was an amazing moment.





After Rao had finished her performance, Legend applauded her. He gave her a tip, and gave her a hug. Raos says Legend thanked her for her singing his song.

Trump Slammed After Ranting That The Smithsonian Only Focuses On 'How Bad Slavery Was'

President Donald Trump was called out after he doubled down on his criticism of the Smithsonian museums in a rambling post on Truth Social on Tuesday, saying they've focused too much on "how bad slavery was" instead of promoting his view of American excellence.

A White House official who spoke to NBC News said Trump's call for a comprehensive review would extended to all museums, pledging that Trump will hold the Smithsonian "accountable" and "then go from there."

Texas Republicans Lock Dem State Rep. In Capitol After She Refuses To Leave With Mandatory Police Escort

Democratic Texas state Representative Nicole Collier is making national headlines for refusing to cede to Republicans' demands that she sign a permission slip to be under escort by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Collier was among dozens of Democrats who bolted from Texas earlier this month to block a Trump-backed redistricting plan designed to tilt the 2026 midterms toward Republicans. Some lawmakers returned Monday for a second special session, but GOP House Speaker Dustin Burrows ordered state troopers to escort them out of the chamber to stop another walkout.

Newsom trolls Vance over Zelenskyy

In the most sincere form of political flattery, Governor Gavin Newsom has bestowed Vice President JD Vance a new nickname as part of his ongoing mission to out-troll President Donald Trump and friends on social media.

It all went down last Saturday when Newsom’s office responded to gerrymandering efforts by Republicans in states like Texas and Indiana to gain more congressional seats for the 2026 midterms.
