Social Media

Social media is a great way to feel just a little bit closer to your favourite celebrities. When you’re watching content celebrities have created on platforms like Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram, it humanises them and makes them feel a little less distant; they’re more like people and less like unattainable icons. TikTok facilitates this almost more effectively than any other platform does thanks to its brevity and focus on authenticity. Here are some of our favourite celebrity TikTok accounts to follow in 2021.

Billie Eilish – 33.8 million followers

If you want a masterclass in how to get more TikTok likes and followers without regularly uploading content, you could do a lot worse than watching Billie Eilish’s channel. Granted, Eilish was already famous before picking up TikTok, but she only uploads content sporadically, follows precisely zero other users, and is still hugely famous and popular on the platform. Her content ranges from promos for her music to comments on how others in the industry perceive her, and although she has very few uploads in total, they’re all thought-provoking and fun to watch.

Ellie Goulding – 849.2k followers

While Goulding is nowhere near as popular as Eilish in terms of followers, she uploads far more regularly, and her channel is extremely varied as well. Goulding is the author of a fitness-focused book titled Fitter, Calmer, Stronger, which is all about her workout routine and how she finds the time to maintain it with her hectic schedule. If you’ve ever wanted a channel that blends music, fitness, and relatable observations about millennial life, then Ellie Goulding’s channel is absolutely for you. Just be aware you’re going to feel significantly less talented when you’re through watching her content.

Lewis Capaldi – 3.1 million followers

Whatever your opinions about his music might be, Lewis Capaldi is hilarious on TikTok. Comedy and meme culture are crucial to TikTok’s appeal, and almost no celebrity embodies this better than Capaldi. Despite being a professional singer with several hits under his belt, Capaldi’s TikTok content is primarily comedy and meme-focused; you’ll often find him lip-syncing to popular jokes or participating in good-natured challenges. Occasionally, Capaldi will find the time to get serious for a while, but for the most part, his channel is great if you need your spirits lifted after a hard day.

The Rock – 40.3 million followers

Speaking of having your spirits lifted, is there anyone out there who can genuinely say they don’t like The Rock? His TikTok channel is a mixture of genuinely inspirational fitness-related content, promotional stuff, and cocky, self-assured charisma. We adore The Rock, and his TikTok content is just further proof that, as he says himself, he’s “still The People’s Champion”. He also finds time to post videos about his adorable family, which shows that not only is he incredibly charismatic, he’s also seemingly a great guy away from the social media lens.

Lizzo – 18.8 million followers

Whether it’s cooking tips, memes, or Duets with other users, you’re bound to find something you love on Lizzo’s TikTok channel. Her irrepressible charisma makes every video she uploads a joy to watch, and on the occasions where she addresses body positivity or industry bias against different body shapes, it’s hard not to feel inspired by her tirelessness. Lizzo’s music is great, of course, but her presence on TikTok just tells us what we already knew; that she’s determined to move through life in her own way, and long may that continue.

Jack Black – 12.5 million followers

Jack Black is hilarious. That’s a fact, and if you don’t feel that way…well…you’re not going to like his TikTok channel very much. Jables’ sense of humour comes through on every TikTok video he uploads, and like Lewis Capaldi, he’ll occasionally cut through the bluster to get serious, but most of the time, he’s his usual clown-like self. Much like YouTube, Black seems to have mastered TikTok with very little effort; all of his videos crack the million-view mark. That’s probably because they’re all gold, so if you love Tenacious D or Black’s work in general, you owe it to yourself to follow him on TikTok.

Charli D’Amelio – 124.9 million followers

While technically not a “celebrity” in the traditional sense, D’Amelio was one of TikTok’s first major success stories. She danced competitively for several years before starting her TikTok channel, but as soon as she created a presence for herself on the platform, she started to amass followers. She’s still the most followed user on TikTok, which is, in itself, a milestone that bestows celebrity. Her content is a combination of dance challenges and move sequences, comedy skits with her friends, and anything else that occurs to her to upload, so she’s great if you want some variety from your creators.

Elton John – 1.5 million followers

Last but certainly not least, we have pop music’s grumpy, irascible grandfather, the wonderful Elton John. He doesn’t have anywhere near as many followers as he should given the consistent quality of his output over the years, but his content is well worth checking out. He posts mostly about the music he’s making, but he also takes time to react not only to fans of his but also to fans of other musicians he likes. If you want to take a trip down memory lane and get a window into the life of Elton John, then his TikTok channel is definitely the perfect place to start.
