I know we often say we didn't expect (blank) on our 2024 bingo cards, but this video was one helluva surprise for a 2024 byline.
Netflix's America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders has taken the world by storm. Once the cheerleaders make the team, viewers look inside at how the DCC organization runs. The show has captured the hearts of many of us who grew up watching Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team.
With the rise in popularity of the iconic cheer squad, the famous "Thunderstruck" dance has seen an uptick in popularity on social media. In short, many people are taking to social media, finally living out their dream of learning this dance and performing it at an age that isn't going to raise an eyebrow.
One video of the "Thunderstruck" performance that has taken off features an unlikely star. With an astonishing 4.2 million views, an Amish woman has taken off with her dance routine. Social media users were A) stunned by the sexual dance being performed by a woman practicing a conservative lifestyle and B) had questions about the technology used to make this video come to life.
While Mennonites use more modern inventions than the Amish do, a cell phone with TikTok does not seem like it fits the bill. The caption on the video suggests to users that this TikTok account has to be secretive, as there is also no name or photo of the user in the profile.
"What happens behind the barn stays behind the barn."
Aside from this user's lifestyle, you have to give her props—she killed this dance. Needless to say, the internet had its jaws on the floor after this blew up.
"We got Amish DCC 'Thunderstruck' before we got Rep TV.""Even the Amish girlies know it’s one hit not two.""Ahh! I love the Amish Plowboys Cheerleaders!""CLEANUP ON AISLE ATE.""Absolutely slayed the barn down!""Please don't get in trouble for this. I love these videos.""Amish DCC, she got all the moves down! She's got my vote.""Girlie, I don’t know Amish rules, but you need to take yourself to Dallas and try out. You do it better than some of the current DCCs."
I knew the DCC hat reach but did not think those living virtually off the grid applied. Clearly, I was proven wrong today.
