Charli D’Amelio is officially the queen of TikTok.
She just dethroned Loren Gray as the most followed person on the platform and Loren
actually spoke out on the competition and Charli hitting this milestone.
What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News bringing you all the news updates from my
at-home Clevver studio and if you’re like me, you’ve been spending a lot of your quarantine
time on Tik Tik trying to learn some dances.
Because we need new forms of cardio now without gyms!
And it’s impossible to go on Tik Tok without coming across 15-year-old Charli D’Amelio
and her viral dancing or lip syncing videos.
You know these ones…
Yeah, each of those videos has tens of millions of views and millions of people are doing
those dances now as I speak, because Charli posted them.
And surprisingly, Charli D’Amelio, who has basically become a household name at this
point, only started on Tik Tok last summer.
Which really is crazy right?!?
Because of where she is now...
But she blew up QUICKLY.
Like we’re talking faster than James Charles can talk or Shane Dawson could solve a conspiracy
theory.
I mean, it was just this past August, around three months after joining Tik Tok, that she
tweeted about hitting 100,000 followers on the platform, which seems small compared to
where she’s at now.
And you're probably still wondering how this seemingly normal teenager managed to shoot
to fame basically overnight.
Even when Charli first started to gain more and more followers by the day, she was confused
by it too.
In an interview for MEL Magazine Charli said quote, "I wish I could give everyone an explanation
as to what happened, but I have no idea..."
And now she’s reached a whole new level of stardom.
She is OFFICIALLY the most followed person on Tik Tok.
And in case you’re like, hey wait, wasn’t Charli already the most followed person on
Tik Tok?
I mean, she is referred to as the “queen of Tik Tok” after all...The answer was nope!
Up until now, Loren Gray held that position for a while with 41.5 million followers.
Loren was on the platform long before it was even Tik Tok.
She was an OG on Musical.ly as well, but seamlessly transitioned over to Tik Tok when they rebranded.
But Charli just surpassed Loren with over 42 million followers.
Yes, over 42 MILLION people and remember, she’s only 15.
This is also the same girl that had only 100,000 followers back in August.
And for having this many millions of followers and now being the most followed person on
the platform, Charli has remained tremendously humble.
And Loren took to Tik Tok to react to the news that she’s now the second most followed
person on the platform.
She posted this video and wrote quote, “i’ve never been here for followers.
i’m proud of how far i’ve come & i’m rooting for charli.
I think she’s amazing.
its never been a competition.”
Loren followed up with a comment saying quote, “I’m happy y’all!
No need to pit girls against each other.
I’m here for fun and for you.
Please don’t bring down one person to lift the other.”
And fans are just as excited for Charli as Loren is.
One person wrote quote, “WAIT charli d’amelio’s now the most followed person on tiktok omg...
good for her!”
Another said quote, “Way to go Charli”
And another wrote quote, “charli d'amelio officially most followed account on tiktok.
happy for her @charlidamelio”
And if you’re a true fan of Charli’s this news shouldn’t come as a big surprise to
you.
Tik Tok has almost become synonymous with her name because she’s basically become
the brand ambassador for the platform.
So much so that she’s been in a super bowl commercial…
She went to fashion week with Prada.
And she even taught Jimmy Fallon how to Tik Tok.
All while still punching out loads of new Tik Tok content every day.
So congratulations are definitely in order for Charli, and what better way to celebrate
than learning a few new Tik Tok dances this weekend, am I right?!
Alright low key I’m still yet to post my first Tik Tok video, but I’ll get there.
