It is unknown whether she decided to take control of the intercom system herself or was encouraged to by her parents or flight crew.

“When your Delta flight is delayed 2 hours and you circle Orlando for another 2,” a passenger on board shared on his TikTok, along with video of the young singer.
“But then a little girl sings Moana on the crew mic and suddenly everything feels okay,” the man who goes by @druziroaming on the social media platform added.
The girl can be seen holding up the phone normally used by flight attendants to make announcements to the cabin as she sings “How Far I’ll Go” for about two minutes.
In the video, which has racked up more than 33.2 million views, several passengers can be heard humming along, others even singing with her the longer the song goes on.
However, not everyone enjoyed the sing-along.
One person’s comment — “This is actually my worst nightmare and personal hell” — resonated with many, and has garnered two million likes.
A second person joked, “I’d rather be inside OceanGate,” referring to the expedition company that owned the Titan submersible that imploded in 2023.
A third hater agreed: “I’d rather listen to the pilot telling us the plane is going down.”
Another user remarked, “In 2013 this would’ve gotten her on Ellen,” while one Moana-loving mom even wrote, “Absolutely not.”

However, the girl was also applauded by many, including the poster of the video who defended her against the nasty comments.
“This is cute only to the parents,” to which @druziroaming replied, “And to me, a random passenger that was on the flight and had the opportunity to see her performing!”
Speaking of the parents, many were frustrated by the girl’s, noting that not everyone on the plane wanted to be “subjected to a concert without consent.”
The poster responded: “It’s just a girl singing for less than 2 minutes. It didn’t hurt anyone that was sitting in the airplane for 4/5 hours….”
In other comments, he commended the girl for her bravery and showing off her vocal skills by “taking a risk and singing to everyone.”
He added: “There’s no age to dream or sing songs to random people! Let her live.”
However, another passenger on the flight, @stephtravelstories, also posted video from the in-flight show.
“POV: You’re on that delayed flight to Orlando. You’re tired. You’re sweating and this happens,” she wrote alongside a clip of her and her spouse’s differing reactions to the singing on the clip that has garnered more than 23.1 million likes.
“My husband trying to be supportive but I wanted to scream.”
