They gained notability on the social media platform, becoming the No. 1 most-followed account on TikTok. Later, they announced that they would be deleting their TikTok account due to loss of interest in the platform and not wanting to support an app they viewed as unsafe.[4] On 31 March 2019, they deleted their page. They had over 32.7 million followers.[5][6] They rejoined TikTok on 7 May 2020, with the same username @lisaandlena.
