It didn’t take long for Charli D’Amelio to amass a huge social media following. According to The New Yorker, she started her TikTok account in spring 2019. In a 2020 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Fallon revealed that in less than a year, D’Amelio gained nearly 35 million followers on the popular platform.
D’Amelio told Fallon about the viral video that catapulted her to fame. “It was a duet of this woman, @movewithjoy who makes easy dances. And it’s her voice speaking, and you just copy whatever she says,” she explained. “So I dueted the video that she did — and it was just like, step, step, hip, hip, like stuff like that, very simple. It was like eight moves, and I posted it.” On the way to dance camp, D’Amelio watched her amount of likes skyrocket. The rest is history.
So, what exactly made D’Amelio an instant hit? New York City-based choreographer Grace Buckley, who previously worked with D’Amelio, shared that the TikTok star “has always had a natural, self-assured sense of style while she’s dancing, which has translated very successfully to TikTok,” per The New Yorker. And D’Amelio quite literally made moves. In an interview on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” she revealed that shortly after going viral, singer Bebe Rexha directly messaged her and asked her to dance at her show. What a start!
