Sarah, a 13-year-old girl from Sidney, Australia, has impressed more than 7 million people over the last four days.

By wiggling her eyebrows.

Uploaded to YouTube on her channel, theinternetisaweird, “Girl with a funny talent” is a 36-second video of Sarah wiggling her eyebrows in time to music. Since December 29, the video has collected more than 53,000 comments and inspired hundreds of parodies, response vlogs, and commentary videos.

Just Turn On The Camera even wrote and performed a song about her, singing her eyebrow dancing “really brightened up my day.”

Those not captivated by her ability to dance with both eyebrows are enamored by her “pretty smile.”

But along with the positive comments, there were some who critiqued her performance or doubted the authenticity of the video. Others made lewd remarks, prompting others to sound the alarm by posting links to Pedobear, the Internet mascot used to scold people who are acting inappropriately around a child.

On December 30, Sarah uploaded another video addressing the naysayers and asking people to like her Facebook page. After answering some questions, Sarah says, “And to all those people who think the video is fake, it’s real,” before wiggling her eyebrows furiously.

Since then, a video of what looks like a younger Sarah doing the same trick has surfaced on the Internet.

But she hasn’t posted another video since December 30. Can Sarah stand the heat her dancing eyebrows have caused?
