Katy Perry performed her new song, Swish Swish, on Saturday Night Live last weekend but many say she was upstaged by one of her backing dancers.

Russell Horning, a 15 year old boy from Georgia, appeared on stage during the last 45 seconds of the performance. With a bag on his back, his moves mainly involved swinging his arms about. But the internet went crazy and Russell was dubbed Backpack Kid.

He now has 617,000 Instagram followers and has been interviewed by USA Today, where he revealed what's in his backpack. Yes, really! The bag contains a bottle of water, a couple fidget spinners (Of Course!) and earbuds!

It's not the first time Russell's dancing has gone viral. Rihanna reposted one of his Instagram videos in December to celebrate receiving 8 Grammy nominations.

When I found out about my 8 nods!!! Shout out to the Academy #GRAMMY2017 @i_got_barzz

But now, an old video of Backpack Kid has resurfaced which shows him shooting a goat in the eye with a pellet gun!

(Poor Quality) Viewer discretion is advised.
