#BabyReindeer 

Get ready to hop on the Baby Reindeer bandwagon because this Netflix sensation is taking the world by storm, and social media is buzzing with excitement.  Since its release in April, Baby Reindeer has been captivating audiences worldwide, racking up an impressive 2.6 million views within its first few days on the streaming platform. Fast forward to April 21st, and that number soared to a whopping 13.3 million views, proving just how binge-worthy this show truly is.

From heartfelt reactions to deep dives into the backstory, TikTok creators are jumping headfirst into the conversation, sharing their thoughts, emotions, and insights about this must-watch show.

Hard at work or hardly working? 

The "I'm Working Late" trend on TikTok, set to Sabrina Carpenter's catchy sound "Espresso”,  has taken off, offering a humorous take on the daily work-life grind. With creators like @sophielouiseclay leading the charge, this trend has gained traction. The video aims to portray the reasons why people work late, from being a procrastinator to being a small business owner. Creators are adding their own twists to each video and making them as funny or as serious as they like. The relatability of the situation paired with Carpenter's upbeat track has struck a chord with TikTok users worldwide, making "I'm Working Late" the perfect soundtrack for anyone hustling through the night.

(Burning) Love Holidays

As summer approaches, TikTok users are already embracing the spirit of holidays with a viral audio trend. This trend captures the anticipation and excitement of travel (even if the current weather doesn’t quite match the vibe) In these videos, creators film themselves in an airport setting before leaping over the screen, revealing themselves at their dream holiday destination. The playful nature of these videos, combined with the element of surprise, has captivated audiences and inspired countless iterations. This version by creators @sueandgeoff is one of our personal favourites. 🥹 This is one to look out for if you’re planning on hitting the holiday hotspots this summer, and a fun one to do in the airport with friends and family!
