This Impromptu Robyn Subway Dance Party Is Everything

In most cities, when you leave a concert, you often find yourself blasting the music you just got to hear live from your car speakers, screaming along and nodding at other drivers waiting in the long parking lot line to leave the venue who are doing the same. It’s a fading echo of the adrenaline rush you just experienced inside, our way of clinging on to those moments.

In New York City, it’s a little different.

Most concert-goers make their way home via public transportation, and while that usually means confining any reflections on the live experience to headphones or excited chatter with your friends on the train, the people who went to see Robyn in Manhattan on Friday couldn’t contain their enthusiasm.

After the show, a massive dance party broke out on the platform at Penn Station, with fans singing along to one of her biggest hits, “Dancing On My Own.”

The wonderful thing about social media is that such a beautiful moment not only got to be experienced by those present, but shared with the rest of us afterwards.

Even the singer herself took notice of the event, reposting one of the many videos with the caption “I’m overwhelmed. Someone just posted this video and I can’t believe the love in this subway station. Thank you New York.”
