Rihanna stunned fans during Calvin Harris' Coachella performance over the weekend.

The singer made a surprise appearance during Harris' set at the Indo, California music festival on Sunday. The duo performed their 2011 mega-hit “We Found Love," and to no one's surprise, the audience and the Internet lost their collective s**t.

Taylor Swift even admitted on Instagram that she would "never forget this moment."
