Teen’s surprise mid-flight Moana performance goes viral, sparking mixed reactions online
A video of a teenage girl’s impromptu mid-flight performance has taken social media by storm, leaving many travellers divided over what is (and isn’t) acceptable behaviour at 30,000 feet.
Brazilian content creator Romeu shared the now-viral clip on TikTok, capturing the teen’s heartfelt performance of How Far I’ll Go from Disney’s Moana.
The girl is seen belting out the popular children’s song into the plane’s PA system, turning the cabin into a captive audience, whether they liked it or not.

While the TikTok creator loved the performance, others online are ready to activate airplane mode on the teenage girl.
“This is actually my worst nightmare and personal hell,” one user commented on the viral video.
“Imagine you finally get your baby asleep and this happens,” another unimpressed viewer said.
“She’s a good singer ok, that I will admit, but NOBODY wants to hear a 12yr old singing Moana when all they’re trying to do is get to where they need to go. It’s not cute, it’s not whimsical and joyous, it’s just inconsiderate and embarrassing,” wrote another.
Some questioned the teen’s parents for letting their daughter take centre-stage in the aisle.
One user wrote, “No hate to the girl, but the PARENTS should know how to read a room. Not everything should be centred around your child. She isn’t Moana, life isn’t a Disney movie.”
