• A woman in Cape Town filmed her positive interaction with her e-hailing driver, who humbled her after she forced him to listen to a Grammy-winning artist

• South African social media users loved the TikTok video and applauded the man for his positive vibes

A young Cape Town woman shared how her Uber driver humbled her in the most comical way. Their interaction in the vehicle amused many South Africans, who applauded the driver for his positive energy.

TikTok user Zayaan Abrahams took to her account on Monday, 13 October, 2025 to upload a nearly three-minute video of the trip. She noted that the clip was Part 2 of her driver, Brian, humbling her while she forced him to listen to multi-award-winning American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.

Zayaan shared that Brian joked he was her boyfriend for the duration of the trip, and once it ended, he would be her ex.

After claiming that people who listened to Taylor Swift couldn't be trusted, Brian added:

"I've got a bad taste from all my exes who listen to Taylor Swift. There's always trouble in paradise. Maybe I'm going to make the list. That's why you're single, right?"

Many people approach e-hailing trips with hesitation and caution, often fearing for their safety due to multiple reports of harassment and unsafe encounters that have made headlines. Several commuters, particularly women, must remain on high alert when entering a stranger's vehicle.

Seeing Zayaan share her positive experience with Brian may be refreshing for people to see, and a reassuring reminder that professionalism and kindness still exist in the e-hailing industry.

"You can see and hear that this guy is well-spoken, and his behaviour is on point. I love his positive attitude. Stay humble and blessed, my brother."
