“I know we’re all staying home and safe right now,” the singer said in a post announcing the challenge named after her 2010 single “Dancing on My Own,” which has more than fifty-five million views on YouTube. “But at least we’re doing it together.”

While the challenge is just getting started today, the responses are already rolling in—here’s one direct from the frontlines of the pandemic. “You’re not alone,” she adds, “and you can join me on the #onmyown hashtag. I wanna see what you’re getting up to!” See her post below.
