Chloe Holladay, a social media influencer on TikTok and Instagram, has been named the Tennessee Titans‘ first featured baton twirler for the upcoming NFL season.
Holladay, who was a majorette at the University of Alabama will be right alongside the Blue Crew, the Titans drumline.
Twirlers made their NFL debut in 1948 in San Francisco when the 49ers Majorettes was formed. The Detroit Lions followed their lead in 1957 and could be seen until 2002.
Since then, a majorette has yet to have a spot on the sidelines, but Holladay is changing that this fall in Nissan Stadium.
Holladay brings a massive social media presence to the Titans along with her twirling. She has 1.1 million followers on TikTok and 486,000 followers on Instagram.
All of her videos on TikTok have received a combined 84.5 million likes, and she has partnership with Tylenol and Color Street, a nail polish brand.
Following the announcement, Holladay took it to social media to express her excitement for her upcoming opportunity.
“I am beyond excited and truly honored to announce that I will be twirling baton this fall alongside the incredible Blue Crew as the first-ever Tennessee Titan Majorette,” Holladay said on Instagram.
“This opportunity is a true testament to God’s grace — without Him opening the doors and guiding my steps, this would not be possible. To the Tennessee Titans, thank you for believing and welcoming me into this incredible organization. I am beyond excited to begin this journey and — twirl — on the Titans this fall! Titan Up!”
The former Crimsonette started her journey at just five years old, wanting to make this dream a reality. This fall, she’ll be doing just that, exchanging her Crimson red for Titans blue.
