The dance team responded to the rock legends with a comment of their own.

"WOW," the team posted in response. "Thank you so much, we are SO honored."

Earlier this month, the team's Jazz routine took home second place at the national contest, falling to Ohio State's Dance Team, which won the gold.

While the Minnesota only earned the silver, the team won hearts and minds across the internet, stunning social media and gathering millions of views from college dance fans and beyond.

The routine even captured the attention of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

"This is badass," Walz wrote on X, above a video of the routine.

Dozens of other videos posted to TikTok shared the same sentiment.

"How did they land an axel on one foot and then continue a turn sequence?!!," one comment said, followed by another that said, "Those turns are so synchronized! That is so difficult with a group this size."

"Help, I can't stop watching this," another video says, showing a clip of the unbelievable synchronization.
