Summer may be slipping away, but this trend isn’t. Inspired by The Summer I Turned Pretty, users are sharing their own dramatic “The summer I…” storylines. Nostalgic, dreamy, or hilariously random this trend is perfect for a seasonal sendoff.
Mix a dramatic screaming match with a fire selfie and you’ve got a recipe for viral gold. This trend is all about serving face while embracing the chaos because what’s a little drama when the lighting’s good?
Fake crying never looked this funny. Perfect for those “overly dramatic” moments (hello, back-to-school blues), this trend lets you poke fun at emotions you may or may not be feeling.
You know you shouldn’t, but… one more treat? Whether it’s a cupcake, an online shopping spree, or texting your ex this trend celebrates every “bad” decision you were totally gonna make anyway.
Notice a recurring character, outfit, or vibe in your Reels? This trend hilariously calls out your aesthetic habits like that tote bag or cat that somehow makes every video.
Nothing says “I’m fine” like a forced smile. This trend nails those moments where you have to keep it together until you don’t. It’s shady, relatable, and oh-so-funny.
Get ready for transitions that slay. From GRWMs to fit checks, this trend encourages creators to show off every angle, outfit, or vibe with just a swipe. Bonus: it works with any audio.
This smooth Justin Bieber remix is making waves with beauty gurus and lifestyle creators. Whether you’re showing off a fresh look or a weekend trip, this one’s got chill, cool-girl energy written all over it.
Fashion meets color theory with this ultra-aesthetic trend. Reels are popping up where outfits are perfectly matched to Pantone shades. It’s giving editorial, it’s giving “I have taste.”
