With her fierce dance moves and ability to 'werk' it, 10-year-old Kaycee Rice has always been talented.

But with one little tweet from pop princess Katy Perry to her 38 million followers, Kaycee has now become a fully-fledged internet sensation.

Katy, 28, posted a video from YouTube of Kaycee at a dance competition doing her hip hop solo to Werqin' Girl by Shangela Laquifa, writing: '!!!WeRk!!!' 

And Kaycee, from Simi Valley, California, had NO idea until one of her friends alerted her, with her mother Laura Rice telling MailOnline: 'It's pretty exciting. We still don't know how Katy found Kaycee and we had no idea it was on Twitter until one of her little fans sent it to her, otherwise we would never have known.'
