A fresh craze has swept across TikTok, with users showcasing the individuals they’ve designated as emergency contacts. Despite the term “Emergency Contact” suggesting a more somber context, this trend is actually quite playful in nature and has led numerous users to share amusing aspects of their partners on the app. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest viral sensation and its origins on TikTok.
TikTok’s ‘Emergency Contact’ trend explained
Lately, TikTok users have been using the “Emergency Contact” trend as a fun method to acknowledge and share with others the individual they would initially reach out to during an emergency. In this trend, the term “Emergency Contact” represents someone who is well-versed in important aspects of the user participating in the trend, such as their parents, guardians, etc.
Initially, the trend was interpreted as just fun and playful, but it evolved into a more romantic context when people started using it to share posts about their partners, expressing their lighter side. This change in the trend seems to have originated from user @paiz2610’s video, where they revealed their emergency contact had been changed from their mom to their partner. This heartwarming clip, which has garnered almost 30 million views on TikTok, appears to be a significant factor in this shift.
Following some inspiration, I jumped on the bandwagon and shared a hilarious video of my new emergency contact with fellow TikTokers. Just like me, user @Britlomb gained popularity with a video that read, “Discovering I switched my emergency contact from the know-it-all to this goofball,” as it showed their partner transforming into a mermaid in a pool!
