Favorite Rumors About Us is the couple trend of autumn 2026: two people stand still under the caption "Our favorite rumors about us", then one rumor pops up at a time, and the one it is true for does a short, goofy emote dance. You need two photos, and the clip comes with the captions and the Zany Emote sound. You may also see it spelled rumours about us.

What the Favorite Rumors video looks like

This is a real couple's original reel of the trend, not a MakeViral result. Your video copies a couple's rumor reel with your own faces, its rumor captions (unless you pick No captions) and the sound. No two runs come out the same.

Original reel by @zhcyt, 18 s

The original reel by @zhcyt (27 Oct 2026, 13.3 million views): the couple stands still, and on each rumor caption the one it is about breaks into the goofy emote dance. The captions are the joke, so they stay.

Step by step

How to make the Favorite Rumors video on MakeViral

Everything runs in the browser. No editing app, no prompt to write, no watermark.

  1. Add the two photos

    Press "Create your own" and add you (18+), on the left, whole body, then your partner or friend (18+), on the right, whole body. Photo 1 goes on the left of the scene, photo 2 on the right. Take them with the camera or pick them from your library.

  2. Press Generate

    The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 puts your photos into the Favorite Rumors About Us trend clip and copies it shot by shot for 13 seconds, with the reel's original song. You write no prompt.

  3. Download or share

    The video is ready in up to several minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in My videos.

Which photo works best?

You need two photos.

  • Couple and No captions: photo 1 is the one on the left, photo 2 the one on the right. One adult per photo, standing, head to shoes in view if you can. The clip is a full-body shot, so a full-body photo gives the best legs for the dance.
  • You + pet: photo 1 is you, photo 2 your pet, whole body, ears to paws. Your pet stands on the left and does most of the dancing.
  • Two pets: pet 1 on the left, pet 2 on the right, one pet per photo.
  • Faces sharp and to the camera, good light, no sunglasses. Your clothes come from your photos.
  • Use your own photo and the photo of an adult who said yes, or your own pets. Never a celebrity or a stranger.

Where did the Favorite Rumors trend start?

The caption came first. In September 2026 people posted solo clips under "My favorite rumors about me", for example @millane on 17 September (5.0 million views by 13 November). In October the format moved to the Zany Emote sound, a dance emote from the game Fortnite that was already a TikTok dance on its own. The Spanish creator @moncluscarol posted "Mis rumores favoritos sobre mi" on 20 October and reached 13.6 million views, and @brookemonk_ posted her version on 23 October (17.0 million).

Then couples made it a guessing game. The French account @ttheobrr posted the first "our favorite rumors about us" clip we found on 25 October with the line "only one of them is true btw" (2.6 million views). @zhcyt followed on 27 October with 13.3 million views, @brookemonk_ and her partner the same day (11.8 million), and the Australian pair @grumpyleanneandmaitland on 28 October (5.3 million). Viewers guess in the comments which rumors are true. By 13 November the sound was in 1.8 million TikTok videos.

  1. @millane posts a solo dance clip with the caption "my favorite rumors about me" and one rumor per beat; it has 5.0 million views by 13 November. TikTok

  2. The Spanish creator @moncluscarol posts "Mis rumores favoritos sobre mi" on the Zany Emote sound; it has 13.6 million views and 1.7 million likes by 13 November. TikTok

  3. @ttheobrr posts the first couple version we found, "our favorite rumors about us", captioned "only one of them is true btw"; it has 2.6 million views by 13 November. TikTok

  4. @zhcyt posts the couple version shown on this page; it has 13.3 million views and 864,300 likes by 13 November. TikTok

  5. @grumpyleanneandmaitland asks "Which one do you think is true?" in their version; it has 5.3 million views by 13 November. TikTok

  6. The Zany Emote sound on TikTok is in 1.8 million videos, and new couple rumor clips still go up every day. TikTok

How does the Favorite Rumors About Us trend work, second by second?

The Couple version copies a couple's rumor reel of the trend with the two of you in it. The camera stays still, both of you are in view from head to shoes, and every rumor gets the same rhythm: about two seconds of standing still with a straight face, then a short dance burst on the beat.

TimeCaptionWhat happens
0 to 2.4 s"Our favorite rumors about us"You both stand side by side and face the camera.
2.4 to 4.7 s"They broke up"The one on the left breaks into the goofy dance: knee kicks, a leg up high, loose arms. The other stands still.
4.7 to 9.1 s"Their relationship is fake"Both stand still, then the one on the left dances again.
9.1 to 13 s"They are secretly pregnant"Both stand still, then you both dance together.

The video is about 13 seconds long, vertical 9:16, with the Zany Emote sound. The exact price of each version shows on the Generate button before you spend anything.

Couple is the classic: the rumors sound like every couple account's comment section. It works for best friends, siblings or roommates too, but the captions are couple rumors. No captions gives you the same dance with no text, so you write your own rumors on top when you post (see below). You + pet puts your dog or cat on the left: it stands up on its hind legs and does the dance bursts, while you keep a straight face. Two pets puts both pets in the couple's place.

Want another duo dance? Try the Toc Toc dance or the capybara couple hug.

How do you add your own rumors to the video?

The real joke is your own rumors, the ones people actually say about you two. Pick No captions, then add one text box per rumor in the TikTok or Instagram editor:

  1. Put "Our favorite rumors about us" on the first 2.4 seconds.
  2. Put one rumor on each part: 2.4 to 4.7 s, 4.7 to 9.1 s and 9.1 to 13 s. A new rumor starts right before each dance burst.
  3. Make the rumor true for the one who dances, or not, and ask "Which one is true?" in your caption.

Rumor ideas for couples: "They broke up", "They're secretly engaged", "They're only together for views", "They're siblings", "They met on a dating app", "She proposed", "He can't cook", "They got married in Vegas", "They have a secret dog", "They've never had a fight". With a pet: "The dog pays the rent", "The cat is the real boss", "He only dates her for the dog".

The Couple version keeps the reel's own rumor captions, so it is ready to post as it is.

What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

ProblemFix
Long blonde hair or a black outfit shows upThe couple in the reel wear them. The prompt bans them unless your photos have them; run it again.
The two faces swap or blendUse two sharp photos with one person each, faces to the camera, then run it again.
A face looks less like youThe clip is a full-body shot, so faces are small. Use a close, sharp, well-lit photo of each face.
A caption letter looks odd (Couple)The model redraws the reel's captions. Run it again, or pick No captions and type your own.
Your pet looks too small or too bigIt stands on its hind legs where a person stood. A sharp photo with the whole animal in view works best.
The model refuses a photoSome photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo.
FAQ

Favorite Rumors trend questions

What is the Favorite Rumors About Us trend?
It is a TikTok couple trend from late October 2026. Two people stand still under the caption "Our favorite rumors about us", then rumors pop up one at a time, and the one each rumor is true for does a short goofy dance to the Zany Emote sound. Viewers guess which rumors are true.
Who started the rumors about us trend?
The solo caption "My favorite rumors about me" came first, in September 2026, and moved to the Zany Emote sound with @moncluscarol from Spain on 20 October. The first couple version we found is by @ttheobrr from France on 25 October. @zhcyt, @brookemonk_ and @grumpyleanneandmaitland made it huge in the days after.
How do I make the Favorite Rumors About Us AI video with my photos?
Press "Create your own", pick Couple, No captions, You + pet or Two pets, and add two photos. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. You get a clip of about 13 seconds with the sound, made by top-quality AI video models. You write no prompt, and the video waits in My videos when it is ready.
What song is the Favorite Rumors About Us dance?
The sound is "Zany Emote Fortnite" on TikTok, uploaded by CsCrafty: the music of the Zany dance emote in the game Fortnite. The Zany Emote dance was already a TikTok trend in September and October 2026, and the rumor clips use the same sound. Your video comes with it, put back on after the run, and you can turn it off on the result screen.
Can I write my own rumors?
Yes. Pick No captions: you get the same dance with no text, and you add your own rumors as text boxes in the TikTok or Instagram editor, one per dance burst. The section above lists the times and some rumor ideas for couples.
What are good rumor ideas for couples?
Rumors people really say about you work best. Popular ones in the trend: "They broke up", "They're secretly engaged", "They're only together for views", "They're siblings", "They're secretly pregnant". Make some true and some false, and ask "Which one is true?" in the caption.
Can I do it with a friend instead of a partner?
Yes. Any two adults work. The Couple version keeps the reel's couple rumors, which can be a joke of its own for best friends. For your own friend rumors, pick No captions and type them in.
Can my dog or cat do the Favorite Rumors About Us dance?
Yes. You + pet puts you and your pet in the reel: your pet stands on the left on its hind legs and does the dance bursts, and you keep a straight face beside it. Two pets puts two pets in the couple's place. The rumor captions stay, which makes them extra silly.
Is it the same as the rumors about me meme?
Yes, this is its duo version. The solo trend "My favorite rumors about me" (in Spanish "Mis rumores favoritos sobre mi") came first; couples then turned it into "Our favorite rumors about us". This page makes the couple version from two photos.
How long is the video and what format is it?
About 13 seconds, vertical 9:16, as an MP4 at 720p with the sound and no watermark, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
Is there a Favorite Rumors About Us template or app?
Here the template is the AI video itself: add two photos and get the full rumor reel with the dance and the sound, with no prompt to write. On TikTok you can also film it yourself with the Zany Emote sound and add the captions in the editor.
Is the dance in the video real?
No. The AI video is made from still photos, so you two never did these moves. Use only your own photo, the photo of an adult who agreed, or your own pets, keep the AI label on when you post, and do not post rumors that could hurt someone.
