Tana Mongeau‘s road to social media fame has been one of the most spectacular in recent memory.

She went from being a regular high school student to becoming an all-star YouTuber who was so well-liked that she was able to stage her own convention.

Her first attempt at a convention didn’t go as planned, but still! Most teenagers wouldn’t be able to dream of doing such significant things.

Since 2015, Tana has been posting videos to YouTube. But in recent months, the 21-year-old YouTuber has emerged as one of the network’s most well-known and divisive figures.

More than 4.5 million people regularly watch her tell stories, eat with pals, and take on various challenges. She’s spread her content to other platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and OF.

Tana Mongeau’s first YouTube video

Here’s where it all began! More than 3.2 million people have watched her first video, “Hairdresser from Hell?”

It was published in 2015 and has since received numerous views. The story-time video quickly established itself as Tana’s signature style, inspiring her to do weekly vlogs in which she recounts outrageous incidents from her life.

She started working with other renowned YouTubers as her channel grew in popularity. YouTuber Cody Ko was a featured guest in one of their first joint videos, posted in May 2016.

Since then, she’s gone fast food dining with actor Josh Peck, taken driving lessons from vlogger David Dobrik, reviewed Coachella costumes with beauty guru James Charles, and spent time on camera with Shane Dawson.
