Cue the smiles!
A viral TikTok trend has everyone smiling, especially the children who are asked to film their parents dancing and singing along to Taylor Swift's hit 2008 song "Love Story." In the challenge, parents are asking their children to film their dancing and singing but instead of actually filming them, the children are unknowingly filming their own reactions to the one-parent show.
Two Babies Gave Their Dad The Look Of Pure Love
TikTok account It's Bryan and Chris shared their version of the challenge just one day go and it's received more than 6 million views already. In the video, viewers see the two babies sitting on the bed in front of a cell phone set up and ready to record. What happens after dad starts dancing and singing is so wholesome and smile-inducing!
Viewers of the video couldn't handle the level of cuteness of these two sweet babies' reactions, so they dropped into comment section to leave their thoughts. "Those smiles are worth everything!!," one viewer wrote, and another added, "You definitely win this trend!! look at those smiles ??."
Well known TikToker Ophelia, otherwise known as "Mama Tot," left a comment for the two smiling babies saying, "This is the best one ???," to which the babies' dad replied, "MAMA TOT!!!! This means so much coming from you. You are such a bright light in our lives! ❤️???"
More than 22,000 other viewers left comments about how adorable the babies are and how great the video is.
"My Daughter Thought She Was Recording Me"
Another dad who understood the assignment is TikToker Rob D'Urbano. He had his daughter Harper, 5, film as he sang and danced to the popular song. His daughter had just as much fun as he did, laughing and smiling along. His video received more than 19 million views and has 39,000 comments about the adorableness of his version of the trend.
"Probably one of the Very BEST videos here on tik tok," one viewer wrote. "Her smile could light up the world!," said another. And another person wrote, "This wins tiktok for the month! That smile! This relationship! My heart is so happy ❤️❤️"
D'Urbano's video received so much positive attention that "Good Morning America" interviewed him about it. "I was telling my daughter she was going to record me doing a dance, and [in] reality, the camera was flipped on her and recording her face the entire time," he explained to "Good Morning America."
"So I did the 'Love Story' dance where I got down on one knee and essentially proposed and then danced and jumped around. And then the camera was actually recording her face and her reaction to me dancing without her knowing."
"By Far My Absolute Favorite Trend! This Cutie Is Always Smiling"
Another TikToker, Courtney King, did the trend with her son. Her video received more than 3 million views and tons of sweet comments.
While she's dancing and singing away, King's son is smiling and laughing the entire time. "Look at his eyes ? it's full of joy," one follower wrote. "Warms the ❤️Keep going TikTok peeps. Love it. Our babies reaction’s are priceless," said another.
Some TikTokers Included Their Pets In The Trend
Some people decided to have their pets do the filming for the trend and the results were just as wholesome. Marc Nadal set his Cocker Spaniel up to see what her reaction would be. His pup's ears and tail were wagging away during his song and dance.
"Adorable! you can tell she’s happy with the way she moves her ears and wags her tail ?," one viewer commented. Another added, "The ears said it all. so cute ?"
