KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 — Canadian singer Celine Dion has made her debut on TikTok, posting a lighthearted video and message to fans about learning the platform.
In her most recent post across her social media accounts, she wrote, “They told me, ‘Celine, it’s time…’ I asked, ‘Time for what?’ Turns out…something completely new. My team then said they’d handle everything, handed me back my phone, and then quietly disappeared.
“So here I am, learning how this TikTok world works…one video at a time!
A video was shared along with the message as she joked about her children encouraging her to join the platform.
“My name is Celine... how old am I? I've got kids,” she said, adding that her children told her “We have to get you on TikTok” to which her response was “What?”.
@celinedion They told me, “Celine, it’s time…” I asked, “Time for what?” Turns out…something completely new. My team then said they’d handle everything, handed me back my phone, and then quietly disappeared. So here I am, learning how this TikTok world works…one video at a time! Thank you for being here, I’m glad we’re here together. - Celine xx…
