‘I thought she got deported’: Fans react as Camila Cabello grooves to KATSEYE’s ‘Gnarly’ in new TikTok video

Camila Cabello knows how to get the internet talking even if it’s just a few seconds of her dancing on TikTok. In a recent video that’s now making the rounds online, the former Fifth Harmony star is seen vibing to Gnarly, the debut single by rising girl group KATSEYE.

The clip is short and breezy: Camila Cabello, wearing casual makeup and loose curls, grooves subtly to the track. But of course, when you’re Camila Cabello the reactions are never just about the dance moves. Within hours, the comments section turned into a rollercoaster of humor, speculation, and yes, a bit of good old-fashioned internet chaos.

Fans react to Camila Cabello dancing to ‘Gnarly’ on TikTok

Now, before you ask no, she didn’t tag KATSEYE or mention the song in any caption. The audio simply played in the background as she moved to the beat with her usual carefree energy. But internet sleuths were quick to notice the choice of track, especially given the timing of the rumored Fifth Harmony rebranding (minus Camila). That was more than enough fuel for fans to spiral into a series of wildly different and wildly entertaining takes.

For some, the song choice felt suspiciously deliberate. A not-so-subtle reminder that Camila Cabello is still very much here, thank you very much. For others, it raised questions about her current career vibe and just how tuned in she is to the whole Fifth Harmony 2.0 narrative.

Then there were those who, frankly, just didn’t vibe with the song at all. Whether it was the beat, the energy, or the general “what am I watching” confusion, the reactions ranged from sarcastic to savage.

Let’s dive into some of the best fan reactions:

A user wrote, with peak confusion:

“I thought she got deported.”

Another fan added a sprinkle of nostalgia with:

“The subtle Fifth Harmony reunion shade 😭”

A user had a harsher take on the tune itself:

“This has to be the worst song I’ve ever heard.”

One person took the conspiracy route and declared:

“She doesn’t care that Fifth Harmony is reuniting and rebranding without her.”

Another one said:

"Ooo is she throwing shade on fifth harmony."

A confused viewer simply asked the question on everyone’s mind:

“Is she dancing or something?”

Another user said:

"My 6 month old nephew dances better than her."

When even the choreography leaves people scratching their heads, you know the internet’s going to have a field day.

The verdict? Camila’s still got it whatever “it” is.

Whether it was a sly nod to KATSEYE, a cryptic comment on her former bandmates, or just Camila being Camila, the video certainly did what it was supposed to: get people talking. And while the reactions may have ranged from sharp to sweet to slightly unhinged, it’s proof that Cabello’s presence still stirs something in pop culture even if it's just confusion.

As for KATSEYE’s Gnarly, love it or loathe it, the song is now tied to a viral Camila Cabello moment and that, in today’s internet economy, is probably a bigger win than any Spotify stream count.

Camila Cabello's dance may not have been earth-shattering, but in true Gen Z style, it was just cryptic enough to get the TikTok detectives pulling out their magnifying glasses. And isn’t that half the fun?
