A viral video emerged on TikTok after the account @druziroaming shared a clip of a young girl singing the song “How Far I’ll Go” from "Moana" during a long flight delay. The caption read, “When your Delta flight is delayed two hours and you circle Orlando for another two … but then a little girl sings ‘Moana’ on the crew mic and suddenly everything feels okay.”
In the video, a girl who was probably between the ages of 10 and 12 sang “How Far I’ll Go” in its entirety while standing where the crew typically makes announcements. Unsurprisingly, there were two very different camps when it came to passengers and the general public observing. People either loved it or hated every single second of it. Now, this poor kid is caught in the crossfire of a viral debate with only one agreed-upon conclusion: Flying is not for the faint of heart.
One passenger on the flight offered some additional insight. “They legitimately came over the PA after two hours at the gate and said, ‘We have some entertainment for you all, so and so is going to sing for us,’” they shared. “Everyone in [first class] just stared at each other in disbelief.”
Although the original video had 1.5 million likes, there were plenty of people who were equally in disbelief in the comments section. “She’s not even young enough to be acceptable to do all this,” one person argued. “Moana didn’t cross the ocean for this,” said another.
