Quebec superstar C\u00e9line Dion makes New Year\u2019s resolutions like the rest of us, and apparently hers is to post on TikTok more often.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Dion appeared on the social media app to declare to her more than 4.5 million followers \u201cTikTok, here I come.\u201d Based on the video and caption, the decision to post more regularly (she has had an official account for a while) comes at the behest of her team and her children.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey told me, \u2018Celine, it\u2019s time\u2026\u2019 the caption says. \u201cI asked, \u2018Time for what?\u2019 Turns out \u2026 something completely new. My team then said they\u2019d handle everything, handed me back my phone, and then quietly disappeared. So here I am, learning how this TikTok world works \u2026 one video at a time! Thank you for being here, I\u2019m glad we\u2019re here together.\u201d<\/p>\n
The video, in which she\u2019s wearing a Celine brand hoodie (unrelated) with the Vegas skyline as a backdrop, begins with the 57-year-old introducing herself: \u201cMy name is C\u00e9line. How old am I?\u201d That\u2019s followed by an impression of her kids telling her to join TikTok.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuddenly, I\u2019m becoming cool,\u201d she said. \u201cC\u00e9line Dion is cool. That\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not her first viral moment on the app. In December, she posted a video in which she dressed up as the Grinch<\/a> that has been viewed 1.8 million times. Prior to that, her account was mostly archival footage, old music videos and the occasional holiday greeting.<\/p>\n Although Dion has largely stepped back from the limelight since announcing her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis in 2022, she has made sporadic appearances, including the Summer Olympics in Paris and the Grammy Awards, both in 2024.<\/p>\n
