The 'She Was A Fairy' meme trend took TikTok by storm in 2023, utilizing a high-pitched, whimsical voiceover from the 2011 film Barbie: A Fairy Secret. The humor relies on the sharp contrast between the delicate, magical audio and visual footage of something decidedly non-magical, such as someone tripping, a pet causing destruction, or a complete fail. It effectively parodies 'aesthetic' social media culture by embracing the ungraceful reality of life. Its simplicity and comedic irony have made it a go-to template for creators to highlight the hilarity in everyday disasters.
