A Grammy winner named Tyla just had a moment that might redefine public transport. Yep, she took her pole dancing and twerking to the London Underground. Because nothing says unbothered like busting a move on a tube train packed with commuters trying to get home after a long day. You could practically hear the collective sigh: 'Is this a concert or just my regular commute?' All this right before the release of her new album, APOP, dropping July 24.
As the footage spread like wildfire on TikTok, the comments rolled in. One brave soul remarked, 'I hope she’s got hand sanitiser'—and honestly, same. That’s a tube, darling. Another chimed in with, 'Girl is going to be patient zero at her own gig,' which feels entirely possible given the germ situation down there. And let’s not ignore the side-eye from Londoners just trying to enjoy a peaceful ride.
Fun fact: This star hails from South Africa and has opened up about facing bullying over her hair and skin tone in school. But look at her now—reclaiming those childhood memories with a surprise dance party on public transport. Just another day in Tyla’s chaotic life. Not shocked, not impressed, just existing alongside the chaos.
