The Internet went crazy over the super sweet moment between the two Gabriellas, as it was everything, and not just for "High School Musical" fans. Both share the same Filipina roots and amazing singing prowess.

The two stars made headlines earlier in the fashion event as Vanessa looked like a bohemian princess with her black Moschino sheer gown. Olivia stunned in her wood nymph-inspired Versace ensemble.

Hudgens originated the role of Gabriella Montez in the "High School Musical" in 2006. And then fast forward to 2019, Rodrigo was in Disney+ show "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series", in which she played Nini Salazar-Roberts, who takes on the role of Gabriella in East High's stage production of HSM. 

Vanessa shared that she was “such a fan” of Gabriella 2.0.

“No pressure, but when are we getting some new music? Because I've listened to the album multiple times and I'm so excited to see what you do next,” Vanessa told Olivia, pertaining to the latter's hit album "Sour."

“You're very sweet. [I'm] working on it right now and constantly writing, just want to make sure it's ready, so yeah… excited for a new era,” Olivia revealed.
