2024-12-02
Taylen Biggs, a pre-teen social media sensation, has achieved remarkable feats at a young age. With a following of nearly 3 million across TikTok and Instagram, she has carved a niche for herself with her fashion-forward 'fits and exclusive A-list celebrity interviews. Despite her tender years, she has proven that age is no barrier to success.

Unstoppable at 11 - Taylen Biggs' Journey to Stardom

She was in front of the camera at 18 months old

Taylen Biggs' career in the spotlight took an early start. At just 18 months old, she was cast in a photoshoot for the Kardashian's kids clothing line. This early exposure set the stage for her future in the entertainment world. Three years later, she walked the runway during New York Fashion Week, showcasing her poise and talent. However, the pandemic brought unexpected challenges, forcing her to pivot and find new ways to connect with her audience. She turned to TikTok, where she began uploading fashion-focused content, reviewing stars' looks on red carpets like the Oscars and Grammys. This new platform became a launching pad for her reporting career, leading to her becoming the "official backstage host for New York Fashion Week."

She started interviewing A-list stars at age 8

After her stint at New York Fashion Week, Biggs' interviewing career took off. She consistently and exclusively interviewed a diverse range of A-list stars, including Kris Jenner with 13.6M views, Lilly Collins with 10.7M views, and Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo with 12.9M views on TikTok. Her chat with Selena Gomez on Instagram racked up nearly 19M views. Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna are still on her bucket list of celebrity interviews. Her ability to connect with these stars and bring their stories to her audiences has made her a force to be reckoned with.

She is signed with Lil Wayne's label

Biggs is managed by Lil Wayne's record label, Young Money Entertainment. Her initial interaction with the rapper at Teyana Taylor's birthday party was a turning point. She asked him to follow her on Instagram, and two days later, he did. This led to a conversation about her fashion illustrations, designs, and sewing. The rapper pushed and motivated her to keep going, telling her that "dreams are meant to be lived." As a result, he signed her to Young Money and now manages her career.

She's a huge Kansas City Chiefs fan

Biggs is a die-hard Kansas City Chiefs fan. She told PEOPLE on the red carpet at the premiere of Hallmark's Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story that her admiration for the team predates Taylor Swift's dating of Travis Kelce. In addition to attending the premiere, she had an amazing view from the sideline during the game, sitting with the Hunt family (the owners of the team) and joining Donna Kelce in the famed suite. Her Instagram carousel was captioned "My Football Family On Screen and Off Screen," and she even wore a Kristin Juszczyk-designed custom jacket. In June, she interviewed the players and coach at the Super Bowl ring ceremony and gifted Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid friendship bracelets, which they both wore throughout the night.

She made her acting debut in a Hallmark movie

After getting close to the Kansas City team through her work, Biggs made her acting debut in Hallmark's Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. Although it was just a brief cameo, it was a "really cool opportunity" for her. She understands that not many people know the hard work and experiences behind these movies. At 11 years old, she is learning and enjoying the process of acting, and it is a significant milestone in her career.

Her parents manage her social media accounts

While Biggs is the star of her own content on social media, her parents manage her accounts. As stated in her Instagram bio, they play a crucial role in shaping her online presence. This allows her to focus on her acting and interviewing work while her parents handle the logistics of social media.
