Celebrities and the Twitterati Get in on “Flip the Switch” Trend

Source: @jlo on TikTok

The “Flip the Switch” trend is pretty simple. You make a video with Drake’s “Nonstop,” and when he talks about flipping the switch, you switch something up.

It started way back in 2018, but its format was cemented when then-Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren and SNL star Kate McKinnon dropped their version in March.

I mean, that was pretty awesome. Not enough for Warren to win the nomination, but we’ll save that for another time…

It’s an easy gimmick to pull, but there’s room for enough variation that there’s a lot of interesting takes. Perfect fodder for a quick viral trend. Here’s a few great examples:

10. Let that sink in

6. This one’s an extended edition

5. No age limits on this challenge

1. Especially if they’ve got the moves

If you’re stuck at home right now, there’s nothing standing between you and TikTok/Twitter infamy. Grab a slightly reluctant partner and #fliptheswitch before the next challenge comes along! Come on, what do you have to lose? Your pride? Haven’t we all collectively lost that during this time?

Anywho, which one is your favorite? Sound off in the comments!
