With the rise in popularity that the app TikTok has seen recently, it's no surprise that there are some big names on the app. Although there are a lot of actors, actresses, and musicians that have taken to sharing videos on the app, there are also a lot of people that are getting famous for their TikTok following. Two of the biggest stars on TikTok right now are Charli D'Amelio and Lil' Huddy.

Who are they? Keep reading to see 10 things you need to know about these TikTok stars.

10 What Is TikTok?

Before explaining who these stars are, it's important to know exactly what TikTok is. This app has been everywhere lately and launched in 2017. The app is used to make short-form

videos and is used by people who are uploading skits, jokes, and dance videos. The app is similar to the now-defunct short form video app Vine, but with more of a focus on using music.

9 Who Are Lil' Huddy & Charli D'Amelio?

Although there are a ton of big names on TikTok, from celebrities using the app as a new way to share with their fans to people getting famous for their viral videos, Charli D'Amelio and Lil' Huddy are two of the biggest names on the app right now.

These teens are part of what's known as the Tik Tok "Hype House" and are known for their dancing videos and skits. Each of them has millions of followers on Tik Tok and it's not hard to see why.

8 The Most-Followed TikToker

Charli D'Amelio may only be 15 years old, but this dancer is still the most followed person on TikTok. Considering there are a number of big-name celebrities on the app like Jessica Alba, Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, and Dua Lipa, it's surprising that someone who rose to fame on TikTok still has the highest number of followers.

This title is one that used to be held by former  Musical.ly star and singer Loren Gray, but now belongs to Charli and her nearly 45 million followers on the app.

7 On Stage With The Stars

Charli may be famous for her TikTok dances now, but she hasn't always been known for dancing on the app. Instead, she actually rose to fame as a dancer for some huge celebrities.

Charli has been a competitive dancer since she was a child and, shortly after she started her TikTok account, she performed as a backup dancer for Bebe Rexha when she was opening for the Jonas Brothers.

6 Lil' Huddy's Real Name

Lil' Huddy is the name that this 17-year-old TikTok star uses on the app, but his real name is Chase Hudson. He has over 15 million followers on TikTok and over 20 million combined followers on his other social media apps.

As a fellow member of the TikTok Hype House with Charli, Hudson has risen to fame on the app where people love to watch his dancing videos and skits. Along with being TikTok famous, he's also credited with founding the Hype House and being the person who scouts out up-and-coming TikTok stars to join them.

5 He's Not Just On TikTok

Although Hudson may be best-known for his dancing, lipsyncing, and skits that he's uploaded to TikTok, it's not the only video-based social media app where he's gained quite a following.

Along with his TikTok account, Hudson also has a YouTube channel where he has over a million followers and uploads vlogs, challenges, and other longer videos. Although he posts more often and has more followers on his TikTok, his YouTube following is still pretty impressive!

4 Past Relationship Drama

Hudson may be known for his relationship with D'Amelio now, but this isn't his first relationship with a TikTok star. Prior to starting his relationship with D'Amelio, Hudson was dating another TikTok star named Cynthia Parker.

In July of 2019, the two of them had a pretty public split and he was then seen posting pictures with and being in TikToks with Charli D'Amelio, fueling rumors that the two were dating.

3 Instagram Official

Those rumors were definitely right. After appearing in each other's TikToks and posing together for Instagram photos, D'Amelio and Hudson made it official and announced that they were dating on Valentine's Day in 2020.

Hudson also did an interview in which he said that the two of them are exclusive, but not into the idea of labels. Whether or not they want to put a label on it, it's pretty clear that these two are a totally adorable couple.

2 What Is The Hype House?

So, what's this TikTok Hype House that we keep mentioning? It's where D'Amelio and Hudson, along with a number of other big names on TikTok, live and make TikTok videos together.

This is far from the first social media house, though. David Dobrik and his "Vlog Squad" friends had a house together, Jake Paul's Team 10 House was definitely well-known around the Internet, and former Hype House member Daisy Keech recently left and started her own TikTok house. These houses are said to be a way for content creators on the same app to motivate each other and work together to create viral content.

1 Who Is Daisy Keech?

Wait, who is Daisy Keech and why is she starting her own TikTok house away from the Hype House? Daisy was a member of the Hype House and is a TikTok star whose name has been in the news lately because of her scandalous feud with Hype House founders Chase Hudson, also known as Lil' Huddy, and Thomas Petrou.

According to a YouTube video that Keech uploaded explaining the drama between her and the Hype House, she was one of the first members and put up a lot of cash to help establish the house, but Hudson and Petrou completely write her off as one of the founders.
