Video taking off 18x its usual first day

KATSEYE's Lara Raj and Megan Skiendiel make their LOEWE debut in Paris

A short Paris Fashion Week clip of the two singers left the rest of Etalk's Canadian TV day far behind, and its comment section filled with talk about a yellow dress and a bindi.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 41,671 views a day, 18 times a normal first day on this channel (2,341).

Etalk's day was mostly about Canadian television: a set visit for the 20th season of Heartland, Molly Parker on what Blair Underwood brings to the third season of Doc, and two full episodes of the show. The upload that took off went the other way, to Paris.

It is a short about two members of KATSEYE, Lara Raj and Megan Skiendiel. According to the description, it was their first Paris Fashion Week, and they went to the LOEWE show for Spring/Summer 2027. KATSEYE is the global girl group that HYBE and Geffen Records put together through the competition series The Debut: Dream Academy. Its training years were followed in the Netflix documentary Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE, and its singles include "Gnarly" and "Gabriela." That is a large, worldwide fan base. Perhaps a good part of it found its way to a Canadian entertainment show for one clip?

The clip passed 30,000 views in its first 14 hours. A new short here usually finishes its whole first day with a little over 2,000, roughly what the Heartland set visit had drawn so far. The comments moved even faster. There were 27 of them already, on a channel where a short usually gathers two.

Those comments stay close to the clothes. Lara's yellow dress comes up again and again, and so does Megan's look. The bindi Lara wore started the longest thread, with viewers going back and forth over how she wore it.

For a show built around homegrown TV, film and music, its busiest new video of the day came from a runway in Paris.
