TikTok Community Drama

Cup Game
The cup game trend on TikTok involves throwing pens into a cup, and daring yourself to do something if they get in. Featuring videos from @ambernicoleardolino, @2goodmarshall, and @katie.janeee.
Then and Now Trend, How Much Do You Get Paid Stitch
Creators use the song “Spirits” by The Strumbellas to show photos of their younger selves versus today. Featuring videos from @retirementhouse and @juleskadenblack. User @itsnitababyyy posted a video with the line, “How much do you get paid?” And people stitch it with their salary. A viral one by @andrewkozaktv talked about local TV salaries.
Duolingo TikTok
User @asianbobbyhill found the mastermind behind the brand’s TikTok account using Linkedin. We hear why Duolingo is doing so well on TikTok from @jazsocial_.
Dance and Audio Trends
A song by MOREART inspired a dance trend for when you’re going to eat. Our favorite is from a law firm @jonathanwjohnson_llc. Another audio trend pulls from “Big Mouth,” Nick Kroll (@nickkroll) himself made a TikTok with a quote from the show. As the holidays approach, a line from “Elf” is also trending.
Taylor Swift TikTok AKA SwiftTok
Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) has taken over TikTok after dropping Red (Taylor’s Version). Will Daniels aka Mr. Feeny even posted a promo for Taylor’s new album (@subpargrace). And Taylor commented!
We dive into the “not Taylor Swift” account conspiracy theory. User @farebear6 showcases all the brands commenting on Taylor Tok. Taylor posts a video using a trending sound with Selena Gomez. And CJ Donald @attorneycj reports on how men in the music industry have underestimated Taylor Swift.
Miniature TikTok
Weirdly, there’s been a lot of miniature content on TikTok. By that, we mean one man built a mini lego version of his house (@alex_falcone), @slimetownusa built a snail version of The Great British Bake Off, and @worldsbestdogdad built his dogs a mini apartment.
Kyle Scheele TikTok
Kyle Scheele (@kylescheele) is going viral after making a giant cardboard cutout of himself and placing it in a random gas station. User @toddlertok made a similar promo with his daughter.
