Gospel artist Kelontae Gavin performed at the 41st annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards, which aired on BET, following the viral success of his song "At the Meeting." The track, released under Kelontae Gavin Enterprise, Inc. and Tyscot Records, surpassed one billion views on TikTok.
The song sparked a social media trend known as the "bouncy dress frenzy," in which women in church attire used the audio to showcase the movement of their long dresses. The trend spread rapidly across TikTok and Instagram, drawing attention from both gospel fans and mainstream audiences.
Gavin performed "At the Meeting" at the Stellar Awards alongside gospel quartet legends Melvin Williams of The Williams Brothers and Paul Porter of The Christianaires. The audience response was strong enough that the trio returned to the stage for a brief reprise.
The song represents a departure from Gavin's usual contemporary gospel sound. He has described it as his first traditional-style single, rooted in the South Carolina Lowcountry gospel tradition.
Following the BET performance, "At the Meeting" debuted at No. 27 on the Mediabase Gospel Airplay chart. Gavin launched a fan video campaign, inviting supporters to submit TikTok or Instagram clips under the hashtag #ATMFANVIDEO for possible inclusion in an official music video.
