Sarina Wiegman, the celebrated Dutch head coach of the England women's national team, was left in disbelief during the Lionesses' Euro 2025 trophy parade at Buckingham Palace when her favorite musician, Burna Boy, made an unexpected appearance on stage.

The moment unfolded as the team celebrated their second consecutive European Championship title, following a hard-fought victory over Spain. Presenter Alex Scott playfully highlighted Wiegman's past reluctance to dance during the 2022 trophy parade, referencing her earlier comment about the music not being "quite right." Scott then revealed the surprise: "We know who your favorite artist is—he’s in the building, so let’s see you dance!"

The crowd erupted as Burna Boy took the stage, prompting Wiegman to exclaim, "Oh, no way!" and instinctively cover her face in shock. She quickly rushed to greet the global pop icon, who has 25 million monthly Spotify listeners, and embraced him warmly. The pair then swayed to Burna Boy’s hit "For My Hand," a song Wiegman had previously named as her most-listened-to track of 2023. Her familiarity with the lyrics and energetic participation underscored her deep admiration for the artist.

The unexpected collaboration highlighted the sheer joy surrounding England’s historic achievement, marking their first major tournament win on foreign soil. Players like Khiara Keating, Georgia Stanway, Chloe Kelly, and Ella Toone waved to the enthusiastic crowd, while England captain Leah Williamson remained emotional, choking back tears during the celebration.

Wiegman’s fandom for Burna Boy was first disclosed in 2023, when she praised the inclusion of his music in the team’s dressing room playlist. At a press conference later that year, she humorously noted, "I don’t know the name of the song, but I’ve definitely played it the most—Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran’s 'For My Hand.'" The singer, known for chart-topping tracks like "Last Last" and "Own It" (featuring Stormzy and Ed Sheeran), has amassed over 18 million Instagram followers, cementing his status as a global music sensation.
