Hilary Duff recreates ‘With Love’ dance with fans, but people commented she copied Zara Larsson

Hilary Duff gave fans in New York City a nostalgic treat this week when she recreated the iconic choreography from her 2007 hit With Love alongside fans during a public moment that quickly made waves online. The dance, long remembered for its infamously low-energy yet endearing moves from the early aughts, was clearly something Duff and her crowd embraced again, with clips of the spontaneous performance circulating on social platforms.

The renewed With Love moment from Duff taps into a broader trend where artists not only perform hits from their catalogue but actively engage their audiences in movement and nostalgia. Duff’s classic choreography has been a recurring meme over the years, with fans and creators alike reenacting the signature sequence that blends charm with a bit of whimsical awkwardness.

Online discussions have shown a mix of reactions. Some fans appreciated the nostalgic callback, pointing out that Duff appears willing to lean into pop culture history that has lived on through memes and social media trends. Others debated whether the engagement bears resemblance to strategies used by contemporaries like Larsson, whose fan dance moments have become a celebrated element of her recent tour buzz.
