Gabrielle Jeannette Hanna (born February 7, 1991) is an American internet personality, singer-songwriter, author, actress and YouTuber. She rose to prominence on the video platforms Vine and YouTube before releasing her debut single, "Out Loud", in 2017.

Hanna has also published two poetry books, Adultolescence (2017) and Dandelion (2020), both of which are New York Times Best Sellers. [7] [8]
Hanna was born on February 7, 1991, in New Castle, Pennsylvania. In 2013, Hanna graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in psychology and communications. [9] While at Pitt, she was a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. [10] After college, she worked for a marketing company that sold products out of a Sam's Club; she became the top salesperson in the US for the company and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, to help start a new branch of the company. However, she departed after realizing that they relied on a pyramid scheme. [11]
Hanna began uploading skits to Vine in late 2013 and later gained recognition for her activity on the Vine app, where she accumulated around five million followers. [9] In 2014, she set up a YouTube channel under the name The Gabbie Show,[ citation needed ] which was changed to Gabbie Hanna in 2017 after the release of her debut single "Out Loud", but was later changed back to The Gabbie Show in 2021. [12]
In 2015, Hanna and partner Matt Steffanina won the fourth season of the dance competition web-series Dance Showdown . [13] After college, Hanna moved to Los Angeles, California, to work with internet media company BuzzFeed, but eventually left to focus on her YouTube and Vine platforms. [14] In December 2015, a video accusing Gabbie Hanna of stealing jokes went viral on Reddit. In Hanna's response to these claims, she states she "never have and never will consider [herself] a comedian". [15]
After Vine shut down in 2016, Hanna focused on YouTube. [16] [17] Meanwhile, she was nominated for two Teen Choice Awards — Choice Web Star: Female and Choice Viner. [18] In late 2016, Hanna joined the lip sync tour Drop the Mic alongside other YouTubers. [19]
In 2017, Hanna released a book of poetry, Adultolescence.

To celebrate New Years, Hanna returned to social media and released "Rewired", a single from her debut album, Trauma Queen. She later announced that she had scrapped This Time Next Year and Trauma Queen would be released on July 22, 2022, putting the album up for pre-order, [6] as well as restarting and rebranding her podcast. [45] Hanna hosted her first live performance since November 2019 on February 22, 2022. [46] In late August 2022, Hanna sparked global conversation around mental health challenges by publishing hundreds of controversial social media posts (including posts where she claimed to be the second coming of Jesus) in only a few days. [47] [48]
In November 2022, Hanna released "Haircut", the first single from her sophomore album, This Time Next Year. A snippet of the song was first shared to her TikTok profile in November 2022.
