A group of senior citizens has gone viral after they recreated a moment from Rihanna's 2023 Super Bowl halftime performance on TikTok.
The video was posted by Arcadia Senior Living in Bowling Green, Kentucky on Thursday and has over 21.3 million views and 2.7 million likes as of Sunday. The assisted living facility's TikTok account @Arcadiasrlivingbg has over 59,000 followers.
The TikTok starts with a line of eleven senior residents dressed in white like Rihanna's backup dancers. One by one they move out of the frame as Rihanna's 2009 song "Rude Boy" plays in the background.
A resident dressed in a red color similar to Rihanna's Super Bowl ensemble is revealed at the end of the line. She then turns around to lip-sync into a microphone.
The assisted living facility captioned the video: "Our halftime show > Rihanna's halftime show ???????????????????????? ."
More than 26,0000 commenters flooded the video with support.
"do we have to wait until we're seniors to live there?" one commenter wrote under the video.
"I love this so much. I miss my grandma and grandpa so much. This was perfect," another comment read.
This is not the facility's first brush with viral TikTok fame. A video the account shared earlier this month using a viral sound from the 2001 movie "Zoolander" has over 835,000 views and 47,000 likes as of Sunday.
In it, two senior residents are seen bumping into each other in the hallway before having a comical face-off, while one resident lip-syncs the iconic "I'm not your brah" line from the film.
The caption reads: "When someone cuts you off on the way to bingo ????," followed by a handful of hashtags.
"If this isn't me and my husband in the nursing home I don't want it," one commenter wrote.
According to their website, Arcadia Senior Living aims to "respect and honor our elders by building communities dedicated to supporting their individual needs, promoting independence and enriching lives."
