Charli D'Amelio: The First TikTok Creator to Reach 100 Million Followers

TikTok is a global platform that brings together hundreds of millions of people from various backgrounds, including dancers, teachers, comedians, artists, postal workers, and delivery drivers. Its goal has always been to create a space where everyone can share creative, joyful, and inspiring moments while connecting with others. Today, we are proud to celebrate the first TikTok creator ever to reach 100 million followers. Congratulations to @charlidamelio!

In less than 18 months, Charli has become one of the most recognized and beloved TikTok creators worldwide. We are extremely proud of her accomplishments since she shared her first TikTok video in May 2019. What makes us even prouder is her unwavering commitment to herself and the TikTok community. Charli has inspired joy simply by being her authentic self, proving that on TikTok, creative ideas matter more than social connections. People are celebrated for being true to themselves.

To honor Charli's milestone of reaching 100 million TikTok followers, we are donating $100,000 in her name to @AmericanDanceMovement, an organization dedicated to improving and increasing access to dance education in the US. On December 1, Charli will announce more details about the "Charli D'Amelio Dance Grant," including the community programs that will receive the grants.

TikTok and the dance community hold great significance for Charli. She acknowledges that she wouldn't be where she is today without the support of her followers. On this special milestone, she expresses her gratitude by giving back and celebrating aspiring dancers. She is thankful for everything and loves her followers.

We are honored that TikTok is Charli's creative home and excited to see her future accomplishments. Congratulations again, Charli! Let's take a look back at some of Charli's most creative and lovable moments on TikTok:
