A growing trend on social media is older folks doing all the same antics of trying food, complaining about new trends, and even giving advice. It is time for Utah octogenarians to break out their phones and start uploading to TikTok. 

Grandparents with Millions of Followers 

Grandma Droniak is 94 years old, and she is tearing up TikTok and YouTube with posts about her life and how she’s doing. She has a lot of character and millions of followers. But she’s just one of many. 

Here’s a list of some of the biggest influencers living in their later years. I like Kim and Grandma Gail. This is a woman who goes on with her 20 something granddaughter and gives dating advice, how to dress, and commentary on celebrities. 

Her takes are funny and wise. She also causes her granddaughter and her friends to gasp at the “backwards” views she holds. In truth, she makes a lot of sense.

Looking for Grandparents with Plenty of Personality and Strong Opinions 

Social media isn’t just for the young, older generations are finding their place and it’s time to join up. It is as simple as making an account on your phone and then hitting the record button. And if that seems like too much, grab a grandkid and have them do it.
