Last up was Keara Wilson, who created the mega-viral dance to Megan Thee Stallion s track, Savage. It took me about 30 minutes to choreograph because I kept changing the ending, she told Fallon. . I never expected it to blow up like it did. I just did it for fun, honestly. Then I just kept seeing it grow. Celebrities were doing it, little kids were doing it. It was the best, she continued. Seeing my dance bring joy to people throughout quarantine was definitely the best part.

As the TikTok renaissance continues to thrive, one group of content creators is holding their ground in increasingly challenging situations. The star power behind the Atlanta-based Collab Crib is rising above the injustices they ve experienced while on the social media platform.
Kaelyn Kastle, Kaychelle Dabney and Queen Khamyra open up to ET s Melicia Johnson about being Black creators on TikTok, cultural appropriation they ve witnessed, and issues with the app s algorithm that they feel puts them at a disadvantage.
Together, the trio, along with their fellow Collab Crib creators, is looking to share their own unique spin on the TikTok revolution from within their own creative environment.
Kaychelle describes the house as very versatile. And as for the love triangles and drama of their West Coast counterparts, the Collab Crib hasn t suffered, thus far, from the same fate. I would say mostly like the way that Keith our manager, Keith Dorsey structured the house, he really took time to, like, put the science together of what personalities would blend, Kaelyn says. So I wouldn t say we have drama, per se. I would just say we have more, like, a family dynamic, you know, when your family, your brothers and sisters argue but it s still kind of just like the overall. Yeah, it s overall love, and we all have the same goal and the same mindset to a certain extent. So when things are arising or happening in the house, we kind of all attack it and handle it in-house.
