January 2025 on TikTok: Secrets Trend, TikTok goes dark, and a sour return

Sike! TikTok is back! Catalina and Dena dive in with creators like @supacarson, @high5ifyourestillalive, @ashley..farrell, @kesha, and @joolieannie reacting to the extremely short lived ban, the “since we’re all going to die” secrets trend, and uneasy return by many to the platform. Dena shares what’s up on her FYP, including the Ohio State Dance team (@superiiorcheer), @badgurlmimi shouting out her most loyal follower, and @momlifestlouis53 eating peaches. Catalina highlights @brettneyspears’s commentary on what’s amiss on the platform, bizarre ads she’s getting, and a video by @jegskaltapadeg about Olivia Rodrigo. Wrapping up, Dena shares an NYC video by @annie.bao about a day spent trying viral food places in the city.
