Pop Crave has broken a crucial piece of national news yet again. According to the celebrity-culture account, on November 22, social-media megastar Charli DâAmelio became the first person to gain 100 million followers on TikTok. The 16-year-old influencer came perilously close to not reaching this milestone over the past week, when her and sister Dixieâs behavior in a DâAmelio Family YouTube video posted November 16 lost her over a million TikTok followers. But what is a king to a god, and what is 1 million fewer followers to a Hype House member? On Saturday, November 21, DâAmelio bounced back to 99 million, and today she reached this record-setting milestone. We wonder what her thank-you TikTok will be. Happy 100 DâAmillion.
Update, November 23: On November 21, after she hit 100 million TikTok followers, DâAmelio finally woke up and reacted to the news in a ten-minute Instagram Live. In the video, she says, âI donât even know how to react, mostly because this doesnât feel real.â She says, âI just want to let you know, if COVID wasnât a thing, Iâd have, like, a 100 million person meet and greet right now. But thatâs not possible.â Throughout the IG Live, DâAmelio teases a âsurpriseâ that she canât spoil.
DâAmelio then posted to TikTok to reveal the surprise, which is that to commemorate her reaching 100,000 followers, TikTok will donate $100,000 to American Dance Movement, âan organization that is committed to increasing and improving the access to dance education in the United States.â On December 1, ten different dance schools will receive $10,000 each. Good for them!
