12 CELEBRITIES TO FOLLOW ON TIKTOK
Unsurprisingly, the app became an easy platform for escapism while many of us were stuck in self-isolation, and allows celebrities to give rare glimpses into their everyday lives—kind of like Instagram, but more fun, and way more addictive.
From Hailey and Justin Bieber's tracksuit-clad dance videos to Laura Dern's inconspicuous cameos in her daughter's TikTok clips, scroll down for every celebrity you should be following on TikTok, when you get around to making an account.
Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus)
Miley Cyrus' TikTok account plays like a highlight reel of some of her best, most iconic moments, which include getting ready for the Marc Jacobs show and dancing with her boyfriend, Cody Simpson, in a video that's clocked over 269 million views so far.
Jennifer Lopez (@jlo)
Most things Jennifer Lopez touches turn to gold, so it's little surprise she's already made a TikTok account, where she shares spoof videos with her fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, and their children.
Hailey Bieber (@haileybieber)
One of the most popular celebrity adopters of TikTok, Bieber (née Baldwin) has shared only three videos on her account, two of which feature her husband, Justin Bieber. Naturally, each video has a view count in the tens of millions.
Bella Hadid (@babybella777)
Under the username '@babybella777', Bella Hadid made her TikTok account public during the early days of self-isolation, sharing everything from viral dance trends to food she's made while in quarantine.
Kylie Jenner (@kyliejenner)
Jenner had a very popular account on Vine before the video-sharing platform shuttered in 2017, so TikTok is right up her alley. On her account, the beauty mogul shares glimpses inside her famously private life, as well as comical videos with her two-year-old daughter, Stormi Webster, and her mother, Kris Jenner.
Lizzo (@lizzo)
Lizzo's regular Instagram account is already hilarious, so you can only imagine how entertaining the "Truth Hurts" singer's TikTok account is, featuring everything from dance challenges to bare-faced confessional videos.
Jessica Alba (@jessicaalba)
Under the monkier 'Yo Mama', Jessica Alba's TikTok account shows she's one of the coolest mums out there, and shows her participating in popular dance challenges (i.e. dancing to Megan Thee Stallion's hit song "Savage") and hanging out at home with her children.
Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardashian)
As the eldest of her siblings, Kourtney Kardashian is by no means the least tech-savvy. The reality star and Poosh founder shares various videos of her laid-back life as a mother to Mason, Penelope and Reign Disick with her 665,000 followers.
Ashley Benson (@ashleybenson)
This TikTok account belongs to Benson, but may as well be Cara Delevingne's too, considering how many appearances she made before the couple split. Their clips include spot-on impersonations of scenes from Keeping Up With The Kardashians, as well as appearances from famous friends like Tommy Dorfman and Kaia Gerber.
Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj)
As of early December 2020, Minaj only has ten videos on her account (and hasn't posted since 2017, when the app was still called 'Musical.ly'), but she's amassed three million followers nonetheless.
Selena Gomez (@selenagomez)
Considering Selena Gomez is the most-followed female celebrity on Instagram, it's hardly surprising that she's popular on TikTok, ever since sharing her first video in October 2019.
Laura Dern
Oscar-winning actress Laura Dern doesn't technically have a TikTok account, but she definitely has a popular presence on the app after appearing in videos made by her 15-year-old daughter, Jaya Harper. One of the most popular involves Dern and her daughter partaking in the "Say So" dance challenge (i.e., dancing to the song "Say So" by Doja Cat), which now has over 1.6 million views.
