She is a comedian, actress and a social media star, perhaps still known best for her short comedic videos which she had uploaded onto the now-defunct Vine platform, and in which she played the character Trailer Trash Tammy.
Family, early life and education
Chelcie grew up in Oklahoma, but later moved to San Diego, California. She was raised by her grandmother, describing her situation growing up as difficult, as her parents were alcoholics and meth addicts. Her mother was arrested for drug possession and died in prison from cervical cancer, while her father went to rehab and eventually remarried.
She has two younger sisters, Beth and Maggie, whom she often features in her YouTube videos and Instagram photos.
After matriculating from a local high school, Chelcie didn’t to enroll at college because of financial troubles she had at that time, and began working in a shopping mall. After moving to San Diego, she worked in a bio-medical engineering company as a tester, but quit after only two weeks to focus on comedy.
Career as a comedian
Chelcie launched her Vine channel in 2013, and in July she began uploading short videos on the platform, in which she played the character Trailer Trash Tammy, who is a comedic representation of ‘redneck’ women from the American south.
Her character usually has her hair slicked back, smokes a cigarette and wears an oversized Majestic Reba T-shirt. Chelcie had over 240,000 followers on Vine, before the platform was discontinued in 2017, while compilation videos of her Vine clips still amass millions of views on YouTube.
In March 2015, Chelcie launched her YouTube channel ‘Chelcie Lynn’, and on 3 March 2015 uploaded her first video entitled “Y’all got a cigarette? Outtake”. At the beginning, she continued uploading content similar to her Vine videos, playing Trailer Trash Tammy, but she eventually moved on to make videos in which she is out of character.
Aside from her comedic skits, Chelcie also produces food review videos, and vlogs with her friends and sisters. Her most popular video is entitled “Man slams door in trick-or-treaters face!!! (Trailer Trash Tammy)”, which has attracted more than 10 million views. She has more than 1.2 million subscribers on her channel, with her videos numbering over 130 million views in total.
