Keith Lee won the 2025 Creator of the Year trophy at the Inaugural U.S. TikTok Awards.
On December 18, the 29-year-old social media star took to the stage at the Palladium Theatre in LA to accept the honor.
“I never in a million years thought I was going to be standing on this stage,” Lee said while accepting the trophy.
Keith, known for his viral food-critic videos, has 17 million followers on TikTok.
“This means more to me than I can explain,” he said while sharing a story of how he grew up as a shy kid.
“TikTok provided me a platform to be able to talk about that,” he added.
Concluding his speech, Keith thanked his wife, Ronni, for helping him get his start on the platform.
