Where does the “Chin Up, Princess” meme come from?
On March 10, 2018, during Big Brother Brasil 18, contestant Jéssica comforted her friend Patrícia, who was facing an eviction vote, by repeating a line she said she used in hard moments: “hold your head up, princess, or the crown falls.” The moment went viral on social media and hit Twitter's trending topics. The line wasn't new: it was already the title of a 2014 sertanejo song by Gabriel Valim. Thanks to the show's popularity, the song became one of the most requested on Brazilian radio again, and demand for the singer's shows rose too.
