SOPHIA Grace and Rosie got that Super Bass!
Here’s where the viral young singers from The Ellen DeGeneres Show are now.
Sophia Grace Brownlee and Rosie McClelland first posted a video of themselves singing Nicki Minaj’s hit song, Super Bass online.
They always came out in tutus and tiaras and made Ellen and the audience smile.
Once the video gained views, the girls caught the attention of Ellen DeGeneres.
She had them on the show to perform the song and do an interview with them.

After that, the girls came back over 30 times to host red carpets, perform, and do segments with celebrities.
The cousins attended award shows such as The Kids Choice Awards and The American Music Awards.
They met celebrities such as Nicki, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Drake, Russell Brand, and more.
With Ellen’s show ending in just a few short weeks, Sophia Grace and Rosie had to come back one last time.

They appeared on the May 12 episode, all grown-up, to talk about the memories from the show and what they are doing now, 11 years after going viral.
HOW THE VIDEO CAME TO BE
When Sophia Grace and Rosie returned to the Ellen DeGeneres show this year, they reflected back on how the initial video came to be.
“As a child, I always used to play dress up. So did me and Rosie,” Sophia Grace said.
“I was dressing up, and Rosie’s favorite costume happened to be The Virgin Mary — you know, Mary and Jesus,” she continued.
“Yeah. I know who that is,” Ellen joked and the audience laughed.
“I was around and Rosie was wearing the outfit. I kept singing Nicki Minaj all the time and my Auntie, Rosie’s mom, was the only one who had an iPhone,” the now 19-year-old continued.
“She said ‘Why don’t we film it? Rosie, quickly get out of the Virgin Mary outfit and get into that outfit.'”
In the video, they danced together as Sophia Grace, then 9, rapped the song.
Rosie, then 5, mostly danced around with her microphone prop.
Ellen found the video after it was posted and the little girls’ lives were changed forever.
TEA TIME
Being on The Ellen DeGeneres show opens up a lot of opportunities for everyday people.
After winning over the hearts of America, the British duo released a book called Tea Time With Sophia Grace and Rosie in 2013.
The book was about them hosting a princess tea party.
Tea Time became a New York Times bestseller and ranked number 2 on Children’s Picture Books.
Sophia Grace and Rosie hosted a signing at Barnes & Noble.
In a throwback clip, Rosie said, “There are so many people. There must be 100.”
Tea Time then turned into a segment on the show, where they drank tea and talked to celebrities.
THEIR ROYAL ADVENTURE
In 2014, Sophia Grace and Rosie starred in their first full-length film, Sophia Grace and Rosie’s Royal Adventure.
The movie followed the cousins as they traveled to Switzelvania to see which of the three princesses will become queen.
They have tea time with all of them, sing and dance, of course, and have the best time traveling.
Royal Adventure was not released in theaters and went straight to DVD and Blu-Ray releases.
YOUTUBE FAME
When Rosie was on the show, she was only 5 years old, so she didn’t talk much and was shy.
She remained living in the U.K. and lived the life of a normal kid.
Rosie took piano lessons, did gymnastics, and sang as a young child while focusing on her school work.
In 2017, she started posting regularly on Youtube, where she would post shopping hauls, fashion, vlogs, challenges, singing videos, and more.
Sophia Grace took the same route and started posting videos on Youtube.
She released a lot of her songs through the platform, posted vlogs, make-up tutorials, interviews with celebrities, and much more.
INFLUENCERS AND LIVING LIFE
Aside from Youtube, Sophia Grace lived a pretty normal life for a few years.
Rosie, however, went on to be a social media influencer.
She stayed active on Instagram and social media, which has a combined total of 2 million followers.
Rosie promotes her music and posts about her life and products that she loves.
Sophia Grace stayed active on Twitter, but only recently joined Instagram.
She would post about her birthdays and updates from Playlist Live, which is a convention for Youtubers and Tiktok creators.
Sophia Grace also launched a clothing line in early 2019 called LoLo London.
LoLo London is “a voice and a brand for anyone working hard to achieve something positive in their lives, our brand is influenced by the talented and positive youth of today,” according to their website.
DRESSING AS THEMSELVES
For Halloween 2021, Sophia Grace and Rosie dressed as their younger selves, tutus and all and posted a video on social media.
It started out with their original video singing Super Bass and then to them last year in the costumes, where they said they “still fit into their tutus.”
“We love you Ellen,” Rosie gave her a shoutout.
The cousins rapped the song once again and then posted a solid picture of them in the outfits.
“Miss you both,” Ellen commented.
Since then, the cousins have gotten together numerous times and posted about it.
RETUNING TO ELLEN
The singing duo walked out in tutus and extravagant outfits.
Rosie, 15, got emotional walking back onto the stage and Sophia Grace hugged her while Ellen handed her a tissue.
“It’s emotional, isn’t it?” the talk show host said.
Rosie nodded her head and composed herself.
They talked about Their favorite moments on the show- Rosie’s was when Justin Bieber kissed her on the kiss, Sophia Grace’s was when they met Drake.
The interview was short but nostalgic, as they talked about what they are doing now.
When they were finished talking, Ellen asked them to perform Super Bass and, of course, they agreed.
Sophia Grace, 19, and Rosie grabbed their prop microphones and sang the song that started it all for them.
Their voices have drastically improved and the crowd gave them an astounding round of applause.
WHERE THEY ARE NOW
Believe it or not, the duo is still pursuing music.
They announced on the show that they have music out.
Sophia Grace has followed her dreams of being a rapper and has been putting out music professionally since 2014.
Her latest single is called Little Things and came out on May 6.
Rosie has also pursued music, despite her dreams of being an X-Factor judge.
She is more of a pop star and has come a long way since being on the Ellen Show.
Her latest single, Safe in Your Love, came out on May 11.
