TikTok

From bedrooms, basements, and backyards across the world, student dancers leapt and swayed to viral music chart toppers with the same contagious enthusiasm as content creators on the titular app in “TikTOrchesis.”

I am a little bit obsessed with Claudia Conway. The daughter of two public figures—one a spokesperson for the Trump White House, the other a notorious Twitter #resister—Claudia rose to prominence over the summer in lockdown. She found TikTok like the rest of us did. She quickly disproved any assertions that her parents actually got along, speculation that had long been purported not just by gossip magazines, but also by reputable newspapers. And almost as soon as the Internet became sure she was who she claimed to be, Claudia went viral.
