A popular dance trend on TikTok has been sparked by Trisha Paytas’ cameo in Eminem’s ‘We Made You’ music video.
TikTok is brimming with popular dance crazes, and the most recent one centers around a particular step from Eminem’s 2009 music video for “We Made You,”in which Trisha Paytas plays the role of Jessica Simpson.
The iconic dance of the original content creator has been revived and popularized, with many users sharing their own renditions under humorous captions referencing the original music video. As a result, these clips have gained millions of views.
The revival of this trend can be attributed to a June 12 post by TikToker chrisctrl, who uploaded a video of Trisha’s dance from the ‘We Made You’ music video, which garnered over 6.2 million views in a short period of time.

Trish’s video quickly gained over 7.3 million views, leaving many commenters surprised to discover her appearance in the music video. One person even admitted, “At the time, I genuinely believed you were Jessica Simpson.”
“One commenter gained almost 7,000 likes on their post, saying, ‘Raise your hand if you also thought she was Jessica Simpson in the music video.’ Another person added, ‘I genuinely didn’t realize that Trisha has been in the game for this long.’ “
The ‘bro test’ challenge, which gained popularity earlier this month, is just one of many trends making its way around TikTok. This latest trend is the most recent to capture the attention of users on the app.
