WE Day is held in 15 cities around the world and features performers and world-famous speakers.

In an Instagram video posted by Selena, youth spoke into a camera about why their efforts of creating positive change in the world should earn them a ticket to WE Day. Unbeknownst to them, Selena was watching and listening to them behind a curtain and came out to surprise them after they were done talking. It was so adorable.
