Singing on a plane. <3 #icelandair #singingonplane #countryroads

While the video she posted to TikTok aappeaed to show the passengers are enjoying themselves and the band does get some applause, it doesn't tell the entire story.

Many passengers were less than thrilled with the turn of events.

And social media tended to agree with them.

Most TikTok comments simply expressed how awful and/or awkward this would have been.

But when you're stuck on a plane for ten hours and you're frustrated and cramped and probably hungry and tired, the last thing you want is to be forced into a group singalong.

There is a right and wrong time and place for everything, and clearly this was the wrong time and place.

Even MTG Is Demanding That MAGA Admit The Killing Of Alex Pretti Was Completely Unjustified

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to speak out against the MAGA movement that brought her to national prominence, this time calling on Republicans to condemn the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

In an almost 11-minute video, trial attorney Chris Madel condemned the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee in the wake of what he characterized as retaliatory actions by the Trump administration, Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota that resulted in the recent murders of two United States citizens—Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
