What we do know about Abbott can probably fit into a thimble. We know that Abbott was seemingly born with a fascination of music. By the time that Abbott was just seven, she had already begun to exhibit some of the musical skills that she now showcases. From an early age, Abbott wanted to become a famous songwriter and singer so that she could perform for her fans all around the world.

During her time in high-school, Abbott was a member of the cheerleading squad. While Abbott had already gone viral, and subsequently became famous, as a teenager, she still attended school until her graduation. Following her high school graduation, Abbott decided to focus completely on her career as a social media influencer and aspiring musician.

Height of Viral Fame

For Hannah Abbott, going viral would change her life. For those not in the know, going viral is a simple term that describes how a piece of media can spread throughout the internet. A single viral video or photograph can subsequently change the life of the subject forever, as is the case with Abbott. What made Abbott go viral was a song that she uploaded to her personal YouTube account in 2012. That song was a cover of Turning Tables by Adele. The cover would go viral and before she knew it, Abbott would have a loyal following at her beck and call. Abbott would release her own track, titled Fighter, during the height of her fame. The song would grab over 300,000 views in the immediate aftermath of being released.

While Abbott's career as a musician continued to trend upward, she began to find another niche for herself on the social media platform, Instagram. Abbott began to share modeling shots of herself in various states of dress on her Instagram account. Before long, Abbott's social media accounts were bringing in hundreds of thousands of followers.  Among her most notable uploads was a picture with Dan Bilzerian. Bilzerian is a social media star and professional poker player who inherited millions of dollars from his family. Bilzerian is known for always having a coterie of beautiful women around him during his social media uploads. Abbott's appearance with Bilzerian led many to believe that she was dating the older Instagram star, though this has not been confirmed in the slightest. Abbott would later delete the picture that showed her cuddling with Bilzerian.

In the middle of 2016, Abbott's social media presence went completely dark. Abbott would delete all of her social media accounts. In doing so, Abbott unintentionally started a rumor that she had passed away. Her fans began to look for answers and scammers would take advantage of the confusion by creating fake accounts using Abbott's image. Currently, Abbott does not have any active and authenticated social media accounts to her name. Some fans believe that Abbott is back in school, studying to become a famous musician. Abbott's other fans continue to keep track of the former social media star with the hope that she will return to the internet. Before going completely radio silent, Abbott had appeared in a feature for Maxim Magazine.
