Then he went pro, landing performance slots at the Grand Ole Opry and Coachella. But that was April and this is May and it’s a new up-and-coming artist’s turn. Meet Estelle Martin of Buffalo, New York, who danced her heart out in the electronics department to K-Pop megagoup Gfriend’s “Time for the Moon.” In the video she shared Wednesday, she lip syncs. She twirls. She even pantomimes. She hits every move, and it looks like she’s a quick study. “I haven’t listened to the song until today and I learned the chorus for 30 minutes and kept my motivation up and I’m proud of myself!” she wrote. Her dancing skills – this may not surprise – have captured hearts across the internet. Clearly, there’s never been a more important time for Walmart shoppers to pay attention. It is the launching pad for fresh new talent, or as Whethan puts it, the new Soundcloud. > [](https://twitter.com/whethanmusic/status/991416229423296512) The internet is flooding with high praise for her performance. > [](https://twitter.com/Iofuu/status/991578709428752384) > [](https://twitter.com/KonaDerpTrain/status/991787792978997248) > [](https://twitter.com/yeojachingusus/status/991772199072747520) > [](https://twitter.com/nxfleuret/status/991721808914145280) > [](https://twitter.com/ljlol/status/991615410091905031) Naturally her newly minted viral status has led to yodel boy comparisons. > [](https://twitter.com/hyelincarey/status/991632537125466112) Catch her moves to BTS and more Gfriend tunes on her Instagram below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5264889/walmart-gfriend-girl/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5264889/walmart-gfriend-girl/"},"headline":"Meet the New Musically Gifted Internet Sensation to Go Viral at Walmart","datePublished":"2018-05-03T18:48:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:52:38.364Z","description":"Meet \"Gfriend Navillera girl\" the latest up and coming musical child to go viral for performing in a Walmart.","url":"https://time.com/5264889/walmart-gfriend-girl/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt45b379ae2a3a707f/698929430a4a22aa7d9d1efe/gettyimages-460935458.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt45b379ae2a3a707f/698929430a4a22aa7d9d1efe/gettyimages-460935458.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-CRIME-SHOOTING-CHILDREN","caption":"Kid goes viral for Walmart dance video.","creditText":"Saul Loeb—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5264889/walmart-gfriend-girl/","name":"Meet the New Musically Gifted Internet Sensation to Go Viral at Walmart"}}]}] ```
