Today, the field of TikTok research is dynamic and exciting, constantly expanding as we strive to uncover the performative world of TikTok. While significant contributions have been made by initiatives like the TikTok Cultures Research Network and scholars such as Crystal Abidin, Trevor Boffone, Bondy Kaye, Jing Zeng, Patrik Wikström,and Juan Bermúdez, there is still much to discover. This special issue is a testament to our ongoing quest for a deeper understanding of TikTok as a glocal phenomenon, particularly from a musicological perspective.
