Ever heard about Tik Tok ? Well, if your age is over 30 probably not but if you are younger you sure did and likely to have an opened account and use it to post short videos because this is what Tik Tok is for.
And anyone has a chance to become famous, like Haley Sharpe, a 16-year-old in Huntsville, Alabama did.Being a little bit famous is different from being famous-famous, but it is not that different, because when you’re a little bit famous it still feels like you are the center of the world. “A little bit famous” is the domain of Instagram influencers, reality TV contestants, YouTube creators, pageant queens, and mid-rosted athletes who you yourself might not recognise on the street, but someone would.
So, lets talk about them, the TikTok stars. These people, most visibly teenagers, and in 99% of the time beautiful girls have found huge audiences on the chinese app known for short video posts, and Haley is one of them. Back in April, under the username @yodeling.karen — Karen is her middle name; “yodeling” references an old meme page she used to follow, but she’s since changed it to @yodelinghaley — Haley uploaded a video of herself dancing that went viral. And not only her videos. A few weeks later, she made a video about celebrities who look like her and that went viral, too. After that, the hits came easier, and today she has just over 100,000 followers.
No, 100,000 followers is not a million followers. On TikTok, where followers are amassed at warp speed, it doesn’t even put Haley close to the top 50 accounts, which all boast followers into the multiple millions, despite most adults having zero clue who any of these people making silly, seconds-long videos are. But this summer Haley got recognised at dance camp, twice.
Another time a girl came up to her at the snack shack at the pool where she lifeguards and asked if she was that girl from TikTok. Haley said “Yeah” and handed her her ice cream, and the girl said “Okay, thanks.” Now she has a journalist who flew all the way to Alabama from New York to find out what it’s like to be her, to be this famous.
But recently Haley got to 3,6 million folowers so this will sure boost her to the top of the most followed person in Tik Tok. And like her are millions of others who dedicate their life in dancing, doing challenges and post videos every day, or every hour. Do you have videos of yourself? Well, then upload them on the platform and hope to get those much craved followers but till then watch some ou our home made videos bellow.
