Canadian reality TV star, influencer, and “CEO of Wine Dancing” Mykenna Dorn came into the public eye when she was a contestant on 24th season of ABC’s hit show The Bachelor in 2020. She finished 7th in the show, leaving in Week 6, but by then, she’d become a viral hit thanks to her animated facial expressions, especially her expressive tongue, and her propensity for tears. She became the subject of countless funny memes and was even featured on the Ellen Degeneres Show.

Young Dorn comes from the city of Langley in British Columbia. Exposure on The Bachelor has certainly helped her career as a fashion blogger. She currently has over half a million followers across her many social platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube. Her fashion tips, videos, and ideas generate tens of thousands of likes within hours of being uploaded, showing she has a strong connection to her young audience. Obviously, becoming a viral sensation these days quickly brings unwanted attention from jealous trolls, and Dorn has defended herself bravely against them.

Dorn entered The Bachelor inspired by her grandparents’ relationship — they were together for over 60 years — and looking for a love that would challenge her. When her vibrant, unguarded expressions became the talk of the series, Dorn was happy to own the moment and even make some memes and reaction videos herself, proving that she doesn’t take herself too seriously. With the show’s fans calling for her to take part in Bachelor in Paradise or The Bachelorette, we probably haven’t seen the last of Dorn.
