TikTok Awards 2025: Live updates from the red carpet and beyond
However, this year’s ceremony feels less like a traditional show and more like a feed brought to life. The night brings together some of the platform’s biggest stars and breakout creators, with Ciara headlining the show and a lineup that spans viral icons, rising talents, and culture-shaping voices from across the app.
Meanwhile, creators are posting fit checks on the way to the TikTok Awards. Before the red carpet even officially opens, nominees and attendees are posting fit checks, GRWMs, and last-minute glam videos as they head to the 2025 ceremony.
Consequently, Mashable is reporting live from the red carpet. Mashable senior culture reporter Christianna Silva, social manager Lily Kartiganer, and social media editor Mike Benavides are on the scene.
Word of the Year, TikTok Edition
However, the question on everyone’s mind is: What’s your word of the year? After Merriam-Webster crowned “slop” the official word of 2025, Josh Richards had a different answer.
In addition, Elizabeth Esparza went with “live,” while Jeannette Oak kept it short and decisive: “Period.” Yasmine Sahid told Mashable her pick is “fandom,” which feels especially on-theme for a night built entirely on online communities and collective obsession.
Creators are getting ready for the TikTok Awards
However, the hours leading up to the ceremony are already turning into content. Across the app, nominees and attendees are posting fit checks, GRWMs, and last-minute glam videos as they head to the 2025 ceremony.
Meanwhile, the nominees are sharing their looks on the way to the event. Storyteller of the Year nominee Logan Moffitt — better known as “Cucumber Guy” — shared a fit check of his sleek gray suit, complete with a pocket reveal.
