The festival's lineup includes Mexican artist Anndrea Torres, TikTok's Most Inspiring Award winner Fiaa Hamilton, and popular street performer Jourdan Blue. Red carpet coverage will be hosted by creators Sarel and Arnaldo Mangini.

Adam Wang, TikTok Live's head, emphasizes the platform's role in transforming creator-audience relationships through real-time engagement and community building. The event aims to highlight the platform's creative community and provide new ways for creators to showcase their talents.

This celebration comes at a crucial time for TikTok, as the platform faces a January 19 deadline to be sold or risk being banned in the United States. Many creators are already preparing contingency plans by migrating their content to platforms like YouTube and Instagram.

President-elect Donald Trump, despite previously supporting a TikTok ban, has recently requested the Supreme Court to delay the ban's implementation, seeking time for a "political resolution" before his January 20 inauguration.
