Greyson Chance Celebrates 10 Years Since Uploading 'Paparazzi' Video!

Can you believe it has only been ten years since Greyson Chance went viral on YouTube?!

The then 12-year-old uploaded a video of himself covering Lady Gaga‘s song “Paparazzi” and his performance wowed the world.

“on this day ten years ago, i uploaded a video that would change my life forever. speaking from true disbelief, i thank you. i could have never imagined being granted the ability to do what i do, and now ten years into it, i can promise you that i’m still here thanks to hard work. i was told constantly that i’d never beat the impact of this video, but i put my head down and kept going and i kept writing. now, music isn’t a choice for me, but rather my purpose; and i am so grateful for that. cheers to another 10 years 💕,” he wrote on Instagram to commemorate the day.

He also dished on working with Ariana Grande for his “Unfriend You” music video.

“everyone who knew Ari at this time understood that she was going to be such a star. she was so inspiring and so encouraging to me during this time,” he said.

“ive been an emotional wreck all day, and all i can say is THANK YOU. every step of the way (both good and bad) you all have been there for me, and i truly dont deserve you,” Greyson added. “through happy tears, cheers to another 10 years #10YearsWithGreyson”
