If you have TikTok, there is a good chance you have seen her videos pop up in your feed. They are so hilarious that it's no wonder she has millions of followers.

Before TikTok

Prior to starting her TikTok career, Collins was a hairdresser working in Vancouver, B.C..

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she could not continue her profession for a while, and she took up content creation and started making videos.

Her TikToks quickly took off and eventually she started getting brand partnership deals with companies like Hershey, Lionsgate and Pantene.

Collins accumulated her massive following in only a few years — and is now a millionaire because of it. It goes to show just how fast fame can actually happen.

Her most popular videos

Almost all of Collin's videos are pretty much viral — racking up millions of views. There are a few that have stood out as her top performers though.

In particular, people seem to really love the videos that poke fun at the relationships between family members.
