A video of a chorus of Taylor Swift fans on a plane singing from their seats has gone viral on TikTok.
The clip was shared by Maddison Olsen (@maddisonolsen111) and has had more than 3.2 million views since it was posted three days ago. A message overlaid on the clip reads: "POV [point of view] your whole flight is Swifties [the collective name for Swift's fans]." The footage shows a crowd of passengers on a plane, waving their hands in the air while singing along to music playing in the background.
A caption shared with the post reads: "If this isn't how you commute to the Eras tour, then I don't want it #taylorswift #viral #erastouraustralia."

Swift's Eras Tour continued in Melbourne this weekend from February 16 to 18, where she performed the biggest shows she has ever played during a tour.
Speaking during the last of the three concerts in Melbourne, Swift said: "96,000 people the first night, 96,000 people the second night, 96,000 people tonight... those are all the biggest shows I've ever played on a tour and you did it three times." There is a clip of her on stage shared by @carlyylalaa on X, formerly Twitter.
The latest TikTok post is certainly not the first time Swifties have formed a united front. Earlier this month, Swift's fans banded together to condemn Jack Sweeney, a Florida college student, for tracking and publicly posting information about her private jet flights via the tracking account @SwiftJetNextDay on X.
The data posted by Sweeney said a private jet linked to Swift flew for 13 minutes to land at a destination 28 miles away, traveling from Cahokia/St Louis, Illinois, to St. Louis, Missouri, on January 30.
Swift's lawyers have threatened to take legal action against Sweeney if he doesn't stop tracking Swift's flights. They say that the singer and her family have suffered "direct and irreparable harm, as well as emotional and physical distress" as a result of his jet tracker account.
'A Dream' or 'Worst Nightmare'?
At one point in the viral clip, a couple of flight attendants appeared to be singing into a phone of the PA system. A camera man and a television presenter holding a microphone were also shown on board.
In a later comment, the poster said: "We received an email before we caught the flight that it was a swiftly flight and channel 9 [an Australian television network] will be filming."
The latest footage has had mixed responses among TikTok users, with some writing that it's "a dream."
User taylor.swift_tv posted, "My dream flight," while ryleychallis wrote: "bro this is literally a dream."
Others were not as thrilled, saying the latest scene is a nightmare.
User wtfitslyss posted: "i'm a swiftie too but i think i would actually cry and throw up this is a nightmare." User tiz0zzq noted: "my worst nightmare."
User hudge_88 commented: "my Idea of hell."
User fionajordnn wrote: "i would lose my mind not gonna lie."
Newsweek has contacted the original poster for comment via TikTok and email. This video has not been independently verified.
