Residents at Arcadia Senior Living in Bowling Green, Ky., racked up more than 27 million views on their reenactment video of Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show.

By then, Oakes and Nuckols had gotten into a routine. Once they got an idea for a TikTok, they would knock on residents’ doors to see who would want to participate. Nuckols did the choreography and danced with the residents behind the camera while Oakes filmed. They’d show the residents each edited video and then post it.The pair wanted the Arcadia residents to have fun with the TikToks.

And they knew exactly who would be Arcadia’s Rihanna: 87-year-old Dora Martin. She had a personality that “fit the part to a T” — and an all-red outfit to mimic the singer’s clothing during the performance.“I was excited that they even asked me,” said Martin, who had already been in the Arcadia TikTok ahead of the Super Bowl. “And I was willing to try anything. I’m just that type of person.”

The video had just hit 100,00o views. But with each passing minute, the number kept rising. Within a few hours, the TikTok had a million views.
