Viral video captures girl singing on delayed Delta flight, passengers term it a 'worst nightmare'

A video of a young girl singing “How Far I’ll Go” from Disney’s Moana on a delayed Delta flight has taken the internet by storm. The video, which shows the girl using the plane’s intercom to sing, has divided passengers on the flight and viewers online. While some passengers found her performance charming and a welcome distraction during a long wait, others were less than thrilled and described the experience as their “worst nightmare.” The flight was delayed due to bad weather, and the girl’s impromptu concert lasted longer than some passengers expected. This mix of reactions highlights how people deal with travel delays differently, with some welcoming unexpected entertainment, and others craving quiet and patience. Either way, the video has sparked a lively discussion online, making this little girl an accidental internet sensation.

Girl takes over the intercom and starts ‘How Far I’ll Go’
As the plane sat on the tarmac waiting for clearance to take off, the young girl grabbed the flight intercom and began singing “How Far I’ll Go,” a popular song from Disney’s Moana. Standing confidently in the middle of the cabin, she belted out the entire song while some passengers clapped along and others watched in silence, unsure of how to react. The surprise performance was certainly not what anyone expected while waiting to leave. It was a moment that broke the boredom and tension but wasn’t exactly appreciated by all.




Mixed passenger reactions
Not everyone on the plane was a fan of the singing. Some passengers expressed frustration, calling it their “worst nightmare” and saying it made the long delay even more stressful. One passenger joked that if you were watching a movie on the in-flight entertainment system, it would pause for every announcement, forcing everyone to stop and listen to the impromptu concert. However, others saw the funny side and praised the girl for her courage and enthusiasm, saying she made the delay a bit more bearable.

Delta Airlines responds
Delta Air Lines responded to the viral video by thanking the young singer for sharing her talent and apologizing to passengers for the delay. The airline confirmed the delay was caused by bad weather, which led to the plane waiting on the tarmac for over an hour. A spokesperson said they appreciated the passengers’ patience during the unexpected hold-up.

A memorable day or delay
While the delay was inconvenient, the young girl’s performance turned an otherwise dull wait into a memorable experience. Whether passengers loved or hated the surprise concert, it is safe to say that it will be a story to tell for a long time. Sometimes, unexpected moments like these become the highlight of a trip — even if they are a bit awkward.
