We’ve seen TikTok videos explode from two likes to a million overnight. Whether it’s a dance routine, a cooking hack, or just someone chilling with a cup of tea, if it’s trending, everyone’s on it. For example, “Love Island USA” had TikTok buzzing until the very last episode. As you scrolled through your feed, you couldn’t escape clips of the latest drama or jaw-dropping eliminations. The obsession with the show didn’t stop trends from blowing up, which is pretty much what TikTok is all about. So, we’ve picked out some of our favorite trends for you to check out!
Dance challenges
Dance challenges are everywhere on TikTok, and right now, Meghan Thee Stallion’s “Mamushi” ft. Yuki Chiba is totally the vibe. Some people might call it “Star,” but who cares about the title when the dance moves are this fire? It looks as simple as just moving your arms and hips, but trust us, it’s trickier than that!
Another dance challenge making waves is Jordan Adetunji’s “Kehlani.” Surprise! The song isn’t actually by Kehlani but about her. TikTokers don’t sweat the song title or artist; they’re only concerned with getting the moves right and tagging the challenge creator.
East African superstar Diamond Platnumz’s “Komasava” is also taking TikTok by storm. Not only is the challenge a blast to do, but it’s also fun to watch. Things got even more hype when Chris Brown joined in with his dancers during the 11:11 tour.
And don’t miss “Ozaambe,” the TikTok anthem featuring Shifrah “Shifura.” She’s become a sensation, not just in Uganda but also in Kenya. This challenge is super easy—just sit on someone’s lap and do a little dance.
Eating at Your Partner’s Pace
The struggle is real for the girlies trying to match their boyfriend’s or husband’s eating speed. While it seems normal for guys to chow down faster, their partners often can’t keep up. Men have also joined in on the fun, trying to eat at their partner’s slower pace, and they’re finding it pretty dull.
Rock Paper Scissors Shoe
This trend is taking TikTok by storm, from kids to adults, and even people with disabilities. Here’s how it goes: play a game of “Rock Paper Scissors Shoe,” and the winner gets to eat while the loser runs to a designated spot and back before playing again. Based on experience, this challenge is no joke—sometimes the food’s gone before you even get a bite!
The Baby Dancing in the Pool
A video of a baby dancing in the pool has become a heart-melting TikTok trend. Mostly shared by women, this trend captures the joy you feel when your boyfriend or husband does something you adore. For instance, one woman posted, “When he calls me Mama,” followed by the adorable dancing baby video. Thanks to this viral clip, the baby’s mom gained 3 million followers, and the little dancer keeps showing off those moves!
Bottle Flipping
Bottle flipping is a nerve-wracking game for those not so skilled in the art of flipping. The challenge involves betting food or money, and whoever lands the flip gets to eat the food or claim the prize until someone else nails the flip.

This trend is trickier than it looks, but Tik Tokers won’t rest until they nail it. The challenge involves spelling out the numbers from one to eight and then back again in a rhythmic pattern. Some users have spiced things up by adding different beats, like Amapiano. Celebrities, choirs, and cheerleaders have all jumped in, each adding their own creative twist to the trend!
