This one got 30M. That gap — not the raw number — is what makes the format worth copying.
A man approaches a group of young women, asking if they do TikTok and know the 'Renegade' dance. He then surprises them by having two popular TikTok creators, Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae, join them to dance the 'Renegade', leading to excited reactions and hugs from the fans.

Why it worked
The video leverages the element of surprise and the excitement of meeting celebrities, creating genuine, highly emotional reactions that are inherently shareable. The use of a popular dance trend (Renegade) makes it relatable to a broad audience, especially younger viewers on TikTok. The 'reveal' structure builds anticipation and pays off with strong emotional content.
