Dozens of guests had gathered for the big party in the Mexican town of San José Iturbide to celebrate Carolina Gutierrez's grandmother's big birthday.

The Mexican woman was also the one who filmed the sprightly senior citizen's arrival at the event location. In the video, you can see the 96-year-old birthday girl being brought into the large hall by a man and a woman.

The Mexican woman walks with a walking stick and is also supported from both sides; her head is covered with a scarf. Apart from the covering, this appearance is not unusual for an almost 100-year-old woman.

However, when the music playing in the background changes from a sad ballad to a bass-heavy party hit, the scarf is pulled off the 96-year-old's head and she begins to dance, laughing.

Even if her female companion still has to support her a little, there is nothing left of the frail grandmother that was mimed on her arrival. In a chic costume, with a glamorous pinned-up hairstyle and a self-confident grin on her lips, the Mexican woman looks much younger.

Her guests start clapping and cheering at the sight and welcome the birthday girl.

Anyone who now thinks that this is the whole show is mistaken: in another clip, which granddaughter Carolina also published on TikTok , you can see the 96-year-old enjoying a drink with her head on her neck.

"96 years and counting! You're one of a kind, Grandma!!!", Carolina proudly writes on her video, which has already been clicked on more than 33 million times.

Viewers celebrate the wild senior citizen and write: "oh my god, who is this diva? ✨✨" and "She has more energy than me..." One can only hope that one day, at this advanced age, one will still be so agile oneself.
