How did Charli D'Amelio become famous?

Charli D’Amelio (born May 1, 2004) is 20 years old. She is the daughter of Heidi D'Amelio, a photographer and former model, and Marc D'Amelio, a former Republican Senate candidate. Even with having notable parents, Charli D’Amelio really earned her fame through social media, specifically TikTok, according to Parade.

Her first video, a lip-syncing video with a friend, was posted in May 2019. However, it was a “duet” video, a side-by-side video on TikTok, with user @MoveWithJoy in July 2019 that allowed the teen to gain traction. She then started to post videos of herself performing dances to trending songs, including her videos performing a dance called the "Renegade" to the K Camp song "Lottery" in October 2019.

These were some of her first videos to really blow up. However, they ended up landing her in hot water when she was mistakenly credited with creating the dance as she had neglected to credit the actual originator, dancer Jalaiah Harmon, which was revealed in a New York Times profile. Ever since, D’Amelio has made sure to credit the creators of the dances that she performs in her videos.

However, like many other US TikTok creators, Charli will be waiting anxiously for the future of the social media platform, with the US Supreme Court expected to uphold a nationwide ban on the app due to national security concerns. TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, based in China, has been told to sell the company if it wants to continue serving its 170 million US users.

The US government alleges that the app could be used by China for political manipulation and spying - a claim countered by the video-based platform, which argues that a ban would infringe on free speech. A deadline of January 19 has been set by the US court, a day before President-elect Donald Trump returns to office. Trump has promised to rescue TikTok once he takes power.
