Miami’s twins Hanna and Haley Cavinder drop 1-word reaction after TikTok ban

Like many celebrities, Hanna and Haley Cavinder are unhappy with the TikTok ban which takes effect on Sunday. The Miami Hurricanes stars posted a screenshot of the ban on their Instagram story.

"Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!" the screenshot read.

The Cavinder twins added a one-word caption.

"RIP," the Cavinder twins wrote.

How TikTok made Hanna and Haley Cavinder famous

Hanna and Haley Cavinder have established themselves as two of the most influential student-athletes in the NCAA. Although their careers started with basketball, where they led Fresno State to a Mountain West regular season championship as freshmen, the Cavinder twins found fame on TikTok.

It started during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Stuck and bored at home, the twins created a joint TikTok account and posted their first video, a synchronized dribbling routine to “The Chicken Wing Beat” in August 2020.

“We were not big fans of it,” their mother Katie Cavinder said in September 2023, via GQ Sports. “My husband and I would be like, Why are you guys dancing around in front of your phone? How in the heck how are you going to make money from that?”

Within a year, the twins gained three million followers and signed a contract with a sports marketing agency. When the Supreme Court ruled in favor of student-athlete compensation in June 2021, Hanna and Haley were among the first to sign NIL deals. Their first deal was with Boost Mobile, which was announced on a Times Square billboard.

Since then, they regularly posted workout and dance videos alongside sponsored content for nutrition drinks and lifestyle snaps on TikTok. They have signed about two dozen sponsorship deals, earning an estimated $2 million annually and gained 4.5 million followers on the content-sharing platform.
