When you picture a TikTok star, you definitely don't think a 93 year-old, but one dancing grandma in Naples has gone viral!

Marie Frances O’Brien, otherwise known as Fran the Hip Gram, is now a social media superstar thanks to her granddaughter Allison Krause wanting to do a fun video to cheer up her sick mother.

Their first video, that has over 7.3 million views and 1.3 million likes, has the Hip Gram modeling clothes to a Britney Spears song:

Naples Daily News says that O'Brien checks her page every day and chats with fans all over the world, saying, “It brings joy to a lot of people. If it makes people happy, I’m willing to do it.”

Krause says, “We all know that my grandma is a star, and she’s the star in our lives. … She was destined to just be in front of a camera.”
