Hi. How's it going?
Good. How are you?
I'm good. I'm excited to talk to you today.
I'm so excited too.
Awesome. Well, we're excited to talk to you today about what goes really on behind the scenes of all your viral TikToks. When do you remember downloading the TikTok app?
So, I've had TikTok for a long time. I had it when it was musically. So that was three years ago. Um but I started like really focusing on TikTok about three months ago.
How long would you say that it usually takes you to learn a brand new dance? Like if you just see it.
Okay, it depends on how hard the dance is cuz sometimes these TikTok dances are kind of hard. I like have to sit there and watch the video over and over and over again. It's so much easier when I'm with someone and they already know the dance. I'm like just teach me it. Please just teach me this.
How many drafts do you have in your TikTok right now?
Oh my gosh, I think I have 375 drafts. All outtakes.
So I love it. I love it. Where is the most commonplace that I prop up your phone?
I always use a tripod.
How many tripods do you think are around the Hype House?
We are on a shortage of tripods, I'm going to be honest. I think we have two. And everyone always texts in the group chat, where's the tripod? Oh my god. Because the We only have two. I we need to order more. I don't know why we only have two.
I was going to say, why is there two tripods all the the whole house?
two tripods and one ring light. Like you would think we would have like an abundance of
I was say, I think you'd have like 50 in one room and like 58 in the other. No. When you're walking around the house, do you find yourself kind of doing the dances, just as you're walking, like not even when you're on TikTok?
Oh yeah, no, if you are in the house, you just hear everyone singing random TikTok dances, like the whole house, everyone's just singing a random TikTok song, it's so funny.
Who would you say is the easier boy to make a TikTok with?
Probably Nate.
You think so?
Nate's definitely yeah, Nate's definitely the easiest one. I'm like Nate, come on. Oh, actually no, cuz Nate always messes up too. But it's definitely me, Nate and Taylor, we just we have it together. Like we know like we know how to work together, so it's probably the easiest to make it with them. Yeah, definitely.
And when you guys go to make one of your TikToks, cuz you have so many together, is it one of those things where it's just like, yo, let's make a TikTok or come here do this one with me? Like how does it come about?
Um I usually text them like hey, I need to make a TikTok with you guys, come be in this TikTok. That's kinda how it goes. Or like if we're just sitting around, I just put the phone up and be like, let's make a TikTok, just randomly. Yeah.
Who would you say is the goofiest person to make one of the TikToks with?
Uh probably Nate and Taylor. They add the goofiest things in my video. They're so funny to make TikToks with.
Once you post your TikToks, do you immediately go and make a new one? Do you check your comments? Do you refresh the views? What's your typical routine?
So I'll post the TikTok and then I'll keep refreshing and seeing all the comments cuz I like to like the first comments that come in cuz everyone always is like, first. So I like to go in and uh comment and reply to people once I post my TikTok.
And then the one your TikTok with Jason Derulo. Oh yes. Did you listen to him like growing up and like always know about him?
Yes, Jason Derulo. Are you kidding me? Yeah, I grew up listening to him. Um I always looked up to him. Like I've always listened to his music. So like meeting him was really cool and he's such an awesome guy. Like he's so cool to hang out with.
Yeah, he seems really cool in person. What's your favorite part of the house to film a TikTok in?
So there's an area up by the pool, it's a little grass area, it's the only grass area in the house. And that's like my favorite place, there's like trees behind. That's my favorite place cuz it's easier to do flips on grass. So that's definitely my go-to spot.
Oh my god. I want to ask you about the car one. Because that came up like that was everywhere. The one that you did with Taylor in the car. Did that wasn't planned?
No. I set my phone up, you know it was going. I set my phone up and I was like, I'm going to do this. And I grabbed whatever and I hit oh it was so great. It was so fun to film. Definitely one of the best TikToks I've filmed so far.
Did you do it in the TikTok app or the video app? Or the video
I did it I did it in the TikTok app. So I usually film all of my TikToks in the TikTok app.
Okay, yeah, so you don't really go back and forth. Oh my god, that one killed me. Let's just watch it together. Oh my. Where were you guys getting in the car to go?
I think we were going to get something to eat. I think we're going to uh Shake Shack. Yeah. We were going to get some food.
Did you have the intentions to get in the car and do it or you just like, oh.
No, I was just in the car and I was like this is a perfect time. I was like, I wanted I wanted to film this TikTok for a while but like I we haven't been in the car together. So I was like, this is a perfect time. I'm going to do it right now.
Who was in the back?
Um Taylor's friend Nikita. He's a pro boxer.
Oh sick. Okay. And he probably was just dying.
Well he had no idea. He was like, what's happening?
I love it, I wanted to ask you about that. And for the for the ones that you do here by yourself you're so I mean you grew up dancing, you're so good at dancing. How long like this one like this take you?
Um I think I did, so sometimes when it comes to like dancing like that, I'm a little bit pickier. Um I think that one took me like four times.
And then are people like around just walking around like because it's like a the Hype House like who knows really like, oh she's making a TikTok. It's not weird.
Oh yeah. No, Taylor and Nate always like to come in and interrupt my TikToks all the time. So. There's a lot of drafts of that.
Was this one? I was like, Taylor just sit there. Be fine. Were you guys just hanging out there and you set your phone up real quick or you went up to her?
We were we were filming TikToks already. Like he was looking for TikToks to film and I was like, Taylor just sit there and just just wait for it. Uh huh.
The ones of you, I'm like I'm sitting there and I'm like, I could probably do that. I can do what she did like with like that. What am I do that? And my body. Okay, and we're gonna are you down to make try to make one in the computer, you don't want to? It's fine if you don't.
We could try.
