Tana Mongeau built her following on YouTube with storytime videos; the Shorty Awards' profile of her credited nearly 3 million subscribers on her main channel and more than 1.1 million on a vlog channel. She was a finalist for YouTube Comedian at the 10th Shorty Awards and was nominated for YouTuber of the Year at the 11th, whose profile cited TanaCon as the high point of her 2018. She was also a 2019 People's Choice Awards nominee for Social Star.

In July 2019 she and YouTuber Jake Paul held a Las Vegas wedding ceremony that TMZ reported was not legally binding, after which they left in separate cars. On January 3, 2020, both announced on social media that they were taking a break, saying they still loved each other; Mongeau said she would keep his Lamborghini and Paul would keep their dog. The TanaCon convention and its refunds are covered in the story in this file.
