Meet ‘Tube Girl’, who started the TikTok trend involving dancing on London Underground

 

Sabrina Bahsoon, a 22-year-old woman of Malaysian origin, is a law graduate from Durham University.

There is a new viral trend on TikTok that involves dancing while travelling on the London Underground, also called the Tube. And the woman who started this trend is Sabrina Bahsoon, a 22-year-old content creator who has earned the sobriquet Tube Girl.

Bahsoon, who is of Malaysian origin and graduated with a law degree in July from Durham University, soon realised she wanted to be in a creative field like fashion or music, according to a report in The Evening Standard. She joined TikTok in 2020 during the lockdown like many other people. She told the British newspaper that she felt everybody was socially anxious, especially after the pandemic.

“It’s like we are socially wired to not interact with each other and care so much about what other people think,” Bahsoon said. Wanting to pursue a career in a creative field, Bahsoon said she decided she needed to become comfortable with how she might be perceived. That is when she got the idea to make a “music video-esque” TikTok.
