What is the passenger princess trend on TikTok?
According to Urban Dictionary, a passenger princess is described as “A pretty girl that has no other job but to look pretty in the passenger seat while her sneaky link/boyfriend/significant other drives.”
Another description of a passenger princess also argues that it’s a person who gets driven around all the time and has no intentions of learning how to drive themselves.
The term has become widespread on TikTok as the trend for so-called “passenger princesses” to show what the title meant grew popular on the platform.
These videos included people, mainly women, sitting in the passenger seat of a car while their significant other drives. In the videos, they show their “duties” as a passenger princess, which often include being in charge of the music and AC, as well as giving last-minute directions. Sometimes, it also includes handing the driver snacks.
Some TikTok users also decide to reverse the roles and show the driver getting to be the passenger princess for the first time.
Usually overwhelmed by the freedom of not having to drive but being able to choose the music, the thing they get most shocked over is their partner putting their hands on the new passenger princess’ thigh.
