This is SEARCH HISTORY, your deep dive into the online habits of our favorite creatures of the internet. From preferred stalking platforms and private browsing habits to the social accounts we should all know about, we slide into the DMs and ask all your burning questions.
Meet Brittany Broski—the meme queen-turned-internet icon who found her way into the spotlight after a TikTok she posted of herself tasting kombucha went viral. She was dubbed ‘Kombucha Girl’ immediately thereafter, and in the two years since, has kept her more than six million followers entertained by posting reaction videos on TikTok and launching a podcast, Violating Community Guidelines, about all things cringe. Broski’s online fame has reached such heights that the comedian—who is also a diehard Harry Styles fan (she has the tattoos to prove it)—was recently offered an opportunity to meet her idol, an experience that naturally resulted in tears. We slid into the DMs to ask the internet phenom about her Google search history, her stalking platform of choice, and her post-Harry glow.
