Valkyrae & Bella Poarch break the internet with epic Valentine’s Day photoshoot
Twitter: Valkyrae, Bella Poarch, FuslieInternet stars Valkyrae and Bella Poarch are ringing in Valentine’s Day with a bang after unleashing a surprise photoshoot together — and the internet losing their minds.
YouTube streamer Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter and TikTok star-turned-music artist Bella Poarch are two major powerhouses in the influencer space.
The two are fairly close friends, as well, with Rae notably appearing in Poarch’s ‘Inferno’ music video alongside several other prominent streamers in August 2021.
But no one was expecting Valkyrae to announce she would be revealing a full-scale photoshoot with Poarch for Valentine’s Day — and that’s exactly what she did.
On February 14, 2022, Poarch and Hofstetter unleashed a slew of photos on their Twitter timelines, showing the pair decked out in several jaw-dropping outfits to celebrate Valentine’s Day (and Poarch’s birthday, which was on February 8).
Poarch even created a full-on website to showcase all of the photos and behind-the-scenes videos, some of which they shared to social media, too.

Even esports organizations got in on the fun, with SoaR Gaming saying in a cheeky reply: “What I would give to be the teddy bear in the 3rd pic.”

It seems that the deadly duo did, in fact, break the internet: Shortly after posting their pics to Twitter, Poarch revealed that they’d been temporarily disabled on Dropbox, where it seems they were hosting images from the photoshoot.
Screenshots from Dropbox support shows that the influencers were “generating excessive traffic” and needed to upgrade their subscription to continue hosting their images.
Omg we broke Dropbox😭😭😭@Valkyrae https://t.co/R13DVRiQ3s pic.twitter.com/nrB1XZwRGw
