When Katie Kelly posted her first video on Tik Tok in October of 2019, she wasn’t even wearing a green beanie. In fact, her user name was something completely different. In the span of less than a year, Katie Kelly has completely rebranded herself. Now known as GirlWithGreenBeanie, she has more than 700,000 followers on TikTok and more than 20 million likes. Although GirlWithGreenBeanie is somewhat of a character for Katie, there’s still something authentic that continues to draw people in. Continue reading for 10 things you didn’t know about Katie Kelly AKA GirlWithGreenBeanie.
1. She Deleted Her Instagram Account
Usually when people go viral on one social media platform, they also encourage their followers to engage with them on their other accounts as well. But for some reason, GirlWithGreenBeanie isn’t doing that. In fact, she once had an Instagram account with the user name ktgk00, but it has since been deleted.

5. She Is An Actress
Long before GirlWithGreenBeanie existed, there was Katie Kelly. Under her real name, Katie has worked as an actress for several years.

Many of her followers may not even be aware of her career.
6. She Modeled As A Child
In addition to working as an actress, Katie Kelly also grew up modeling. She started working on print ad campaigns when she was a small child.

Part of Katie’s journey was featured on an episode of Dream Builders on YouTube.
7. She Was In A TV Show
Katie’s biggest role to date was on the NBC series, Game of Silence. The show aired for just one season back in 2016 in which Katie played the younger version of one of the main characters.

Although the show didn’t get renewed for a second season, it featured an impressive cast which included Michael Raymond-James and Lorenz Tate.

This summer I began to use my cannon a little more and got kinda crafty. I hope you like my videos.

Katie’s Tik Tok persona, GirlWithGreenBeanie is best-known for the highlighter green beanie she wears in almost every video.
