Haley Kalil (@haleyybaylee)
If you’ve just downloaded TikTok and opened it, there’s a 90% chance you’ll come across her. Haley Kalil, a model, actress, and TikTok influencer from New York City, gained popularity after a recent Met Gala scandal. She posted a video to the sound of Let Them Eat Cake by Marie Antoinette, which many saw as mocking the poor. Haley doesn’t just support feminism in her videos, but she also significantly contributes to promoting women in STEM fields. However, feminism isn’t the primary focus of her TikToks. Her videos are genuinely funny and full of sarcasm. While her somewhat millennial humor might be cringey for younger audiences, you'll definitely find some hilarious moments here.
Nara Smith (@naraazizasmith)
The growing popularity of Nara is quickly gaining her followers. Her video concept is simple — she cooks meals for her husband and children. However, what sets her apart from others is the fact that she makes everything from scratch. She’ll show you how to make cotton candy at home from regular sugar, and it’s not the only thing she can teach you. Of course, not many people will replicate her incredible creations (it's easier just to buy sugar at the store), but her TikToks are meant for entertainment, not culinary life hacks.
Charli D'Amelio (@charlidamelio)
When talking about TikTokers, it's impossible not to mention the global sensation, Charli D'Amelio, a girl who captured people’s hearts with her incredible dance moves. As of December 2020, she became the first person to reach 100 million followers on TikTok, making her a true phenomenon, with The New York Times even calling her the "reigning queen of TikTok." What truly deserves praise about Charli is her charitable work. She donates money to various charitable foundations and also collaborates with UNICEF, speaking out against cyberbullying and the dangers of seeking fame on social media.
MrBeast (@mrbeast)
Everyone has probably heard the jokes about him running for president of the United States during the elections. Many people would vote for this content creator, who produces interesting and funny content and engages in large-scale philanthropy. He states that his mission is to make the world a better place, and therefore, he shares his positive impact on the world and inspires his followers to do good deeds. While he's more popular on YouTube, MrBeast is slowly taking over TikTok and deserves a spot on this list.
Khabane Lame (@khaby.lame)
We often see strange things or life hacks on TikTok that only make life more complicated. It’s as if they were made specifically for Khabane Lame, an influencer who went viral by filming “judging” videos where he sarcastically demonstrates how to do things the simple, logical way. His straightforward yet hilarious videos have made him the most followed TikToker to date. So, leaving him out of our list would be a crime.
JoJo Siwa (@itsjojosiwa)
It’s hard to say who all these people following her are, and even harder to understand what’s going on in her head, but one thing is undeniable — this girl is incredibly popular. A product of capitalism, child reality shows, and an overambitious mother, JoJo has reached incredible heights through her eccentricity and controversial publicity. Scandal after scandal, she draws people's attention, and by laughing at her, they only make her more famous. Well, everyone has their own path to success!
Karol G (@karolg)
Colombian singer, Karol G, has received awards, including a Grammy, six Latin Grammy Awards, and even the title of Woman of the Year. Striking out on her own, she won Colombia's The X Factor before moving to New York. By releasing her songs and sharing them on TikTok, she gained more and more popularity, proving once again that TikTok is a perfect platform for promoting her work.
Kylie Jenner (@kyliejenner)
One of the Kardashians, Kylie Jenner, is an American model and businesswoman. She not only shares with the world beauty life hacks and promotes her products, but also creates a lot of entertaining content that many people enjoy. One way or another, everyone at some point in their lives has wondered how the rich live.
Selena Gomez (@selenagomez)
We all remember Selena from our favorite childhood TV shows, like Wizards of Waverly Place. You might love Selena or think she’s too much, but that doesn’t change the fact that she’s incredibly popular on TikTok. The reason lies partly in her iconic makeup line. You’ll find tons of beauty bloggers who are absolutely obsessed with her Rare Beauty Foundation, which has incredibly strong pigmentation. So, even if you are new to TikTok, you can still find people you like there.
Spencer X (@spancerx)
Music with original sounds, produced tracks, and comedic sketches — all this you can find on Spencer X TikTok. Initially posting only on his YouTube, he later started posting on TikTok as well, becoming super popular there in a very short time. You can visit his account for a good laugh and lots of content to watch without thinking.
TikTok is a marvelous entertainment platform for everyone, regardless of age. You can come here and get into a completely different reality filled with trends, rich people, and likes. It is an important part of our modern world, and we can't deny it.
