About

Madonna On My FYP refers to a series of parodies on TikTok of a video posted by pop singer Madonna in which her face moves close to the camera while her song "Frozen" plays in the background. The video sparked concern, as users felt Madonna's face was unnaturally bloated from plastic surgery, and the parody videos found users implementing face-altering filters on TikTok to mimic Madonna's viral video.
