A beloved TikTok star has sadly passed away… And she was the one to announce the news.
You may have come across sweet Bella Bradford’s fashion TikToks while scrolling on the video sharing app over the last year. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, the 24-year-old always loved filming Get Ready With Me (GRWM) videos… And has been tragically battling a rare form of cancer in her jaw muscle since 2021. But despite the cards life dealt her, she always remained a positive ray of light on the app. See (below):
@bellabradford0 I shared these with my friends when I originally went into remission and had a Fuck Cancer party. Now that I’m terminal I wanted to put them here permanently ♥️ #lifelessons #cancer #lifeadvice #cancerpatient #terminal #chronicillness #bakewithme #cooking #bananabread
But it’s with heavy hearts we report Bella has passed away after years of struggling with the disease. Well actually, it was Bella who reported the news… Posthumously.

In a TikTok uploaded to her account on Thursday, the influencer made her “very last GRWM.” She said:
“As we all know, I have terminal cancer. And unfortunately, my life has by now come to an end and I passed away. But I wanted to film one final Get Ready With Me because I love doing these and I love fashion. Thank you for following me on this fun journey. I hope you will [look] back on all my videos and find a little bit of joy in your day if you ever needed to feel. So remember that you live every day and you only die once, so make every day count.”
Bella goes on to wear a dress, beige cardigan, baseball cap, tote bag, sunglasses, and jewelry. She concluded:
“Thank you guys so much for this wild and wonderful ride. I hope you all have beautiful and amazing lives, and I wish all the best for every single one of you. Lots of love.”
