Who is Katie Hamden? The Social Media Sensation Known for Her Viral Lifestyle Clips

Katie Hamden is a 24-year-old Australian model and social media celebrity. Recently, she has captured the attention of millions, worldwide, thanks to her engaging and charismatic online persona. While she has profiles and posts across numerous social media sites, it is Snapchat that has become her premiere platform of choice to connect, converse, and share with her fans around the world.

Born in Australia on July 27, 2000, Katie has a very close bond with her twin sister, Lauren. Lauren was born just a minute after Katie, giving Katie her closest confidant and collaborator. Together, the Hamden twins have become nothing short of a viral dynamic duo online. Through the leveraging of their identical appearances, both Kaite and Lauren have worked together to create engaging, entertaining, and relatable content for their burgeoning fanbase.

Social Media Success

Katie's journey to success began on TikTok, where she showcased her modeling and comedy skills. To this day, Katie debates whether or not ‘comedy skills’ is the right term, given that most of what her audience found so funny were unintentional accidents that befell her while she was recording. But her reactions to these situations were a huge part of what endeared audiences to her as an influencer and creator. “Honestly, it started as a hobby,” she says. “I never expected to get this far and have friends texting me about my videos.”

The one-two-punch of Katie’s creative videos, paired with her contagiously charming personality, proved to be a successful mixture. Before she knew it, her profile had garnered the attention of millions. She has now garnered a massive following on her TikTok account, where she now posts modeling content regularly and gives viewers insight into her daily activities.

In an effort to further expand her reach and influence, Katie opted to branch out to Instagram as well. There, she quickly amassed over 170,000 followers, all of whom follow her for her exclusive modeling content and rare glimpses behind the scenes.

Snapchat Proves a Perfect Fit

However, Snapchat is the social media platform that has truly enabled Katie to make an impact. With a more high-octane, fact-paced flow when compared to other social media sites, Snapchat has proven to be a perfect fit for Katie’s more spontaneous sensibilities. With over 245,000 Snapchat subscribers, she offers fans an intimate look into her life through short and engaging clips. “It has been my favorite platform; I feel like it is the most organic way to build a relationship with my fans,” Katie says.

Often referred to as the "Australian princess," Katie's online presence reflects her vibrant and adventurous spirit. Her content not only entertains but also inspires her audience to explore new experiences and embrace their inner ambitions, which is what she’s most proud of. “Whether my fans want to become an influencer or travel the world, I try to encourage them to follow their dreams as I did.”

A Future Full of Potential

Looking ahead, Katie and her sister have expressed interest in expanding their influence beyond the realm of their home country. They are currently formulating plans for collaborations with major celebrities and potential ventures in the United States. As she concludes, “We love the States, we have so many friends over there, it has been both Lauren and I’s dream to be able to venture out.”
