Dance videos going viral on TikTok is not a new phenomenon. In fact, many songs that were released several years ago have been given a new lease of life after being used for TikTok choreography. The same happened with American pop sensation Kesha’s 2010 classic, ‘Cannibal’. Today, let’s learn about all that went down with Kesha’s Cannibal on TikTok.

The Rise of Cannibal After A Decade

As a platform, TikTok has seen many viral dance choreographies with literal interpretations of the lyrics. This means that the TikToker actually performs the actions mentioned in the lyrics of the song. And when something like that is trending, how can we forget Kesha’s 2010 era, filled with upbeat music and dramatic over-the-top lyrics.

Looks like TikTok star Briana Hantsch’s thoughts aligned with us, as she chose to perform a literal interpretation of Kesha’s EP from 2010, Cannibal. A young teen from Illinois, Briana Hantsch is the mind behind the viral choreography of Cannibal. She uploaded a video of her original choreography on TikTok in February 2020 and soon, the video went viral, earning over 52,000 likes.

Famous TikTok Influencers Doing The Cannibal

The viral dance video has been attempted by over 9 million users already. This list also includes mega TikTok stars such as Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae among others. TikToker Sheri Nicolee also uploaded a video of her grooving to the tunes of Cannibal with Addison Rae by her side.

The ladies, while following Briana’s choreography to the T, also set an example for their followers by giving Briana dance credits in the caption. This was highly appreciated by other TikTokers, who followed in with their attempts on the choreography. Some famous TikTok stars who jumped into the Cannibal bandwagon were James Charles, Jayden Bartels, Sofia Wylie and Avani.

The Cannibal choreography had such a wide outreach that even the singer of the song, Kesha, couldn’t hold back from performing it herself. The singing sensation shot an energetic duet with TikTok star Charli D’Amelio and shared it on her profile.

And not just that, Kesha was so overwhelmed and pleased with the revival of her song, that after a decade of it being released, Kesha released an official lyrical video of the same on her official YouTube channel.
