South African global sensation Tyla is keeping the energy high as she introduces a brand-new TikTok dance challenge for her latest hit single, “Chanel.” The announcement comes just days after the star celebrated another massive milestone — her second Grammy Award nomination, further cementing her place among Africa’s brightest international exports.
The Chanel Dance Challenge quickly took over TikTok after Tyla’s fan page shared a video of her effortlessly performing the slick, rhythmic choreography. Dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit, Tyla showcased smooth moves that matched the song’s sensual energy, leaving fans across social media excited to join in.
“There’s a new dance challenge in these TikTok streets, and fans are eating it up,” one user posted, echoing the buzz that followed Tyla’s video. The choreography has already been praised for being easy to learn yet captivating — a signature of Tyla’s ability to merge global pop appeal with her distinct African rhythm.
The Chanel challenge comes at a time when Tyla’s career continues to soar. The singer was recently nominated for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, earning a nod in the Best African Music Performance category for her hit “Push 2 Start.” This marks her second Grammy nomination, following her historic 2024 win in the same category for her viral anthem “Water.” That victory made Tyla one of the youngest African artists ever to bring home a Grammy, triumphing over industry heavyweights such as Burna Boy and Tems.
Fans on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) have already started sharing their own takes on the Chanel dance, tagging Tyla and using the trending hashtag #ChanelChallenge. The star’s ability to set social media trends while consistently delivering high-quality music continues to position her as one of the most influential young artists on the global stage.
With Chanel now soundtracking thousands of videos across TikTok and streaming platforms buzzing with the hit, Tyla shows no signs of slowing down. Between her Grammy recognition, international acclaim, and viral dance moves, she remains the definition of star power.
As the Chanel dance challenge gains momentum, one thing is clear — Tyla’s reign as the queen of cool, confident global pop is far from over.
