About

Girl Singing Moana on Delayed Plane refers to a viral video that gained traction in late May 2025, showing a young white girl singing the song "How Far I'll Go" from the Disney film Moana over the airplane intercom. The plane was reportedly delayed and circling over Orlando for over two hours when the flight crew allowed the girl to sing a song to entertain the passengers on the Delta Airlines flight, some of whom may have been flying into Orlando to go to Disney World.

The video sparked discourse and memes online after it was first posted by TikToker @druziroaming and reposted to Twitter / X, where people debated whether it was necessary or appropriate for the girl to be allowed to sing over the intercom on a packed plane. By early June 2025, people claiming to be the passengers on the flight began posting videos supposedly showing their live reactions to the girl singing.
