Few songs stick to film's as firmly as Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" to the 1997 Academy Award-winning Titanic.

In honor of the film's 20th anniversary, Dion took the stage at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards Sunday night in Las Vegas to belt out her iconic hit.

After an introduction from Lea Michele, Dion appeared inside a massive floor-to-ceiling chandelier in a bright white dress while clips of Titanic played on the screen.

The performance earned Dion a standing ovation which rendered hosts Vanessa Hudgens and Ludacris all but speechless. The nostalgia and feels were very, very real, both in the auditorium and on Twitter.
