This Malaysian Girl Films Herself Dancing On The London Tube And Her Confidence Is Inspiring
22-year-old Sabrina Bahsoon, now widely known as Tube Girl, has quickly become an inspirational icon for TikTok users with her confidence and “delulu” attitude.
A young woman in London has taken TikTok by storm with her selfie videos of her dancing on the London subway.
22-year-old Sabrina Bahsoon, now widely known as Tube Girl, went viral for her first video in mid-August, which has gained over 7.8 million views.
In her videos, she films herself dancing and singing along to music while commuting on the London Tube while swirling the camera around.
Bahsoon – who was raised in Malaysia and moved to the UK to study law – said it all started with a “no” when she asked a passenger to help her film but was refused.
However, she was determined and decided to do it alone.
Bahsoon dances totally unbothered by other passengers and has quickly become an inspirational icon for TikTok users with her confidence and “delulu” attitude.
“Delulu” is a slang term that Gen-Zs have been using on social media as an abbreviation for “delusional”.
Being “delulu” doesn’t mean being overly idealistic and unrealistic, instead, it helps people build a more positive mindset and get the dream situation.
“I love dancing, I love music. To be honest the Tube itself is not the most glamorous place to spend your time. And because I spend so much time on it, music is my outlet,” Bahsoon told the BBC. “So honestly it’s just what I would do even if I wasn’t filming.”
“Social anxiety is afraid of you,” one person said in a comment.
“I want this level of confidence,” another person said.
#TubeGirl has now turned into a trend, as others were inspired to film their own version of the video on public transit.
Bahsoon said she was very happy to see the reactions and people joining the trend.
“They’re enjoying their commute a little bit better. And I love to see people having fun so it’s honestly such a heart-warming thing for me,” she said.
“I think that it’s very common when girls are having fun, when they’re seen as enjoying themselves, and when they take pride in their value, you know, saying ‘oh, I’m beautiful, I’m a girl who’s confident’, a lot of the times people will try to humble you so you can never win,” she said.
“So I think it’s about confidence and it’s about being more comfortable with your authentic self,” she added.
