Old Video of Tyla Dancing with Children in 2020 Resurfaced, SA Reacts

South African singer Tyla has got social media talking after an old video of her dancing with children in her community resurfaced online.

The throwback clip, reportedly recorded in 2020, shows the singer enjoying a fun moment with a group of children. At the time, she looked like an ordinary young woman spending time with people in her neighbourhood, seemingly unaware of just how far her music career would eventually take her.

Fast-forward to 2026, and Tyla is now a Grammy-winning international star whose music has taken her to some of the biggest stages in the world.

The resurfaced video has given fans a glimpse into her life before global fame, with many struggling to believe how much has changed in just a few years.

As the clip made its rounds online, South Africans headed to the comments section to share their thoughts.

Some people joked that fame had changed everything, while others argued that Tyla was already gaining popularity even before her international breakthrough.

Others simply celebrated her journey, pointing out how beautiful it was to see someone who once danced with children in her community go on to achieve international success.

The video has also reminded fans that behind the glamorous performances, designer outfits and international appearances is a young woman who once enjoyed simple moments in her neighbourhood.

Tyla’s journey has been particularly inspiring for many South Africans, especially after her hit song Water became a global sensation and earned her the Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance in 2024.

For fans, the old footage is more than just a nostalgic moment. It offers a reminder of how quickly life can change when talent meets opportunity.
