This is pretty cool. The Chainsmokers crashed a high school prom.

“Crashed this prom just now. It was across the street from our arena show, so why not :)” the band wrote on Twitter, and band members posted a selfie to prove it (above).

The prom in the spotlight? Huntley High School’s.

There’s video proof too. This from a teacher:

According to the Daily Herald, “Band members Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall announced on Twitter their plans to stop by the dance at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Rosemont — just across from the Allstate Arena, where The Chainsmokers played later that night.” The high school is located in Illinois.

People were pretty awestruck, and they let other people know about it on social media.

People trolled other people who were at proms that the Chainsmokers did not crash. People at proms the Chainsmokers did not crash were pretty peeved too.

According to the Daily Herald, though, what seemed like an impromptu prom crashing was planned in advance. The newspaper reported, “Unbeknown to students, however, the surprise 10-minute performance was put into motion weeks ahead of time, Huntley High School Principal Scott Rowe said. An email from a student, who is also a Chainsmokers fan, struck a chord with Taggart and Pall, who played the show for free as a favor to the prom-goers.”
