Supporting Artists and Entertainment Professionals During the COVID-19 Pandemic

TikTok is a vibrant community that thrives because of the talented musicians, dancers, actors, and comedians who create entertaining content to keep us smiling throughout the day. Users of TikTok enjoy witnessing the work, practice, and creative lives of these entertainers. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the entertainment industry, with gigs being canceled, productions closed, and professionals in the arts facing uncertain times.

To support artists, actors, and industry professionals affected by the pandemic, TikTok has partnered with MusiCares and The Actors Fund. You can show your support by using the #MusicMatters hashtag on the Discover tab and tuning in to live performances by singer-songwriter Camila Cabello, comedian Howie Mandel, and Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth. The Actors Fund also extends their gratitude and invites you to join them in making a difference. Additionally, MusiCares Foundation emphasizes the importance of keeping music alive during this challenging time and urges for your help.

Whether you are a musician, actor, producer, set designer, or simply someone who appreciates music and the arts, share with us what they mean to you using the #MusicMatters hashtag. Consider making a donation to support entertainment industry professionals who are facing difficulties. TikTok is matching donations until May 27, so your contribution will have twice the impact.

Let's come together to support the talented individuals who bring joy and inspiration through their art.
