Tyler, the Creator showed up to the graduation ceremony for the girl from his viral "Esmeralda" video from early in his career. She is daughter of Tyler’s managers Christian and Kelly Clancy, according to Complex. As she walked across the stage to accept her diploma, he shouted out "Esmeralda!" from the crowd. The wholesome moment almost caused her to break into a laugh on stage.
As a clip of the ceremony circulated on social media, fans reflected on how old the moment made them feel. "We getting old as sh*t," one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote: "I remember that video…. Wait how old is Tyler and how old is she now??? Mennn I feel so old." One more added: "Am I the only young person who doesn't know who the who she is? Too many old people around."
