The Beaches have finally met Kid Cudi.

At the Billboard Canada Women of the Year’s sold-out Saturday night (Oct. 18) show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, they linked up with the American rapper and singer backstage.


The group’s frontwoman, Jordan Miller, shared the iconic moment featuring Cudi and pop songwriter Justin Tranter on her Instagram, with the caption: “LA LA LAND.”

During the Billboard Canada Women in Music 2025 celebration, Cudi sent a special video congratulating The Beaches on their historic honour as Women of the Year.

“Keep doing your thing and inspiring people," he shared.

The band also received surprise messages from Elton John, Charlotte Cardin, Arkells and Greta Van Fleet.

Kid Cudi followed The Beaches when the band's new album No Hard Feelings came out in August. Mutual admirers of each other's music, they traded DMs, and The Beaches invited him to the show in L.A. Before the congrats video at Billboard Canada Women in Music, they had never actually met in person.

The Beaches are on tour in support of No Hard Feelings, playing a string of shows across North America. In the comments of the group’s most recent Instagram photo carousel recapping their California shows, Cudi wrote: “Epic show!”
