Loren Gray was one of the most followed people on TikTok before TikTok went officially viral. She got her start on the original version of TikTok which was called Musical.ly, where she was the top young person lip synching to her favorite songs.
She is now a signed artist with Virgin Records / Capitol Records, because I guess when you lip synch, it's good enough for a record deal, something the survivng member of Milli Vanili probably resents.
I do not know if she was the catalyst for TikTok's Aritificial Intelligence figuring out exactly what Americans wanted to see, which they rolled out and well, you've seen how that's worked out fo them. I just know that since TikTok Matters, Loren Gray matters, at least enough to do this shoot for Grazia magazine!
This is the future, the now and despite just seeing a HORRIBLE story about a 10 year old being declared brain dead after doing some "TikTok Challenge" where kids are choking themselves out, more reason why the internet should be 18+ if they end up regulating it, because people just don't know any better!
But to every bad thing that happens on TikTok, there's a good thing that happens, and Loren Gray is potentially one of those good things that happened, at least it's been good for her! She earned millions in 2019 from TikTok, and 2020 was her real breakout. So that's how that works out!!
