[edit]

Charli D'Amelio was the most-followed TikTok user for over 2 years, before being surpassed by Khaby Lame.

The following table lists the accounts that were once the most-followed on TikTok, excluding the official TikTok account.

Before Khaby Lame became the most-followed TikTok user on 22 June 2022, Charli D'Amelio was the most-followed TikTok user. D'Amelio became the most-followed TikTok user on 25 March 2020 at 41.4 million followers, surpassing the previous record-holder, Loren Gray.[40] Later that same year, D'Amelio became the first TikTok user to reach 100 million followers.[41]

Before Loren Gray, Lisa and Lena were the most followed individuals on TikTok, with over 32.7 million followers at the time they deleted their account.[42][43] They deleted their account in March 2019, citing privacy concerns and their loss of interest in the platform.[44][45][46][47] They rejoined TikTok on a new account with the same username on 7 May 2020.

Before Lisa and Lena, Baby Ariel was the most-followed TikTok user.[48][49]
