What is The Hello I’m Shelley Duvall Trend on Tik Tok?
The "Hello, I'm Shelley Duvall" trend on TikTok celebrates the late actress who hosted Faerie Tale Theatre. It started with a compilation video from 2010 featuring Shelley introducing herself in different outfits. In 2023, TikTok users discovered this video and began remixing the sound, creating their own videos where they mimic Shelley's greeting while showing off their outfits.
The trend became popular among women on the app, who enjoyed sharing their style in homage to Shelley Duvall. Even after Shelley's passing in July 2024, the trend continues as a heartfelt tribute, with users fondly remembering her and expressing admiration for the iconic actress.
How Did “Hello I’m Shelley Duvall” Trend Become Viral?
The "Hello, I'm Shelley Duvall" trend went viral on TikTok due to the nostalgic appeal of Shelley Duvall's introductions from the 1980s TV show Faerie Tale Theatre. A user-created compilation video featuring Duvall's repetitive greeting caught attention in 2021, but it was not until 2023 that TikTok users began remixing the audio with modern music and showcasing multiple outfit changes.
This trend resonated widely, drawing on Duvall's enduring charm and the whimsical variety of costumes and settings she presented in the original show.
Tik Tok
TikTok, owned by ByteDance, is a popular short-form video platform where users share videos ranging from a few seconds to an hour. Launched globally, it has amassed over two billion mobile downloads by April 2020, becoming a cultural phenomenon, especially among Generation Z.
However, it faces scrutiny for privacy breaches, mental health impacts, misinformation, offensive content, and concerns over data handling by ByteDance, particularly in relation to national security. Some countries have fined or restricted TikTok to safeguard users, citing potential data risks linked to its Chinese ownership.
