About
The "Ceilings" Trend is a TikTok trend set to a sped-up version of the song "Ceilings" by Lizzy McAlpine in which participants lip dub to the song while dramatically running and dancing around outside, the participant often wearing a dress or taking off a layer of clothes to reveal a floor-length gown underneath as the song builds. The trend became popularized around late January 2023, becoming increasingly viral in late February and March.
