Loren became the most followed person on musical.ly (now known as TikTok) at the age of 13 years old, and has amassed a following of over 55 million on Instagram and TikTok.

We also discuss growing up in the age of the internet and she shares deatils into how her parents supported her career & provided her with space to grow as a young creator, while still monitoring and protecting her as their child. We discuss everything from parenting in the age of the internet & how some parents in Hollywood will take advantage of their famous children, to how the industry sexualizes young female creators and what it's like to be taken advantage of by the entertainment industry. We lastly get into the positive side of social media and how she cultivated a supportive community of over 55 million, how she's taking charge of her singing career, and what's coming up for her in the future.
