The phrase 'sing singing' is redundant and incorrect. The verb 'sing' should be used without the '-ing' form here because 'watched' is followed by the base verb to indicate the action observed. Using 'singing' after 'watched' is unnecessary and grammatically incorrect.
× And honestly, when I'm feeling tired or overwhelmed, rubbing along to my favorite tracks really lifts my spirits and makes me feel more relaxed.
✓ And honestly, when I'm feeling tired or overwhelmed, humming along to my favorite tracks really lifts my spirits and makes me feel more relaxed.
The phrase 'rubbing along to' is incorrect in this context. The correct expression is 'humming along to' when referring to singing or following music. 'Rubbing' does not fit the context of interacting with music and is a misuse of the verb and preposition combination.
