To celebrate I'm Glad My Mom Died's incredible success, Jennette took to TikTok to post a video of her setting off a confetti cannon with a caption thanking everyone who has supported the book. Jennette wrote: "thank you for making igmmd a nyt bestseller for 80 weeks. and still the #1 audiobook 🙏 i’m celebrating".

So far so normal, except for the fact that Jennette is terrified of loud noises. In the video, Jennette says: "80 weeks, number one baby! I'm scared. I don't like loud noises. Ah f--k, I'm scared okay. Ah f--k, this is a bad idea, I hate loud noises."

Jennette then fires the cannon and lets out a bloodcurdling scream, saying: "F--k. My heart's pounding so fast right now. My heart is racing. I can hardly breathe. Oh my God. That was the scariest thing I've ever experienced."

The video ends with Jennette joking: "That's what the next memoir is about."

Of course, it didn't take long for the video to go viral. It's currently been viewed over 20 million times on TikTok. For the most part fans are just expressing their concern and reassuring Jennette that she doesn't need to pop confetti cannons in future.

One fan wrote: "Girl you didn't have to risk your life like that for us." Another said: "Next time, do a confetti curtain, so you just pull the string and it just gently falls, no noise."

Huge congrats to Jennette! But yeah, maybe a confetti curtain would be best if it hits 90 weeks.
