Tarayummy is 4 feet 11 inches tall, roughly 149 centimeters. That is the accurate answer to one of the most searched questions about the Maryland-born content creator, comedian, and DJ. Most websites will tell you she stands 5 feet 6 inches. Most websites are wrong, and they have been copying the same unsourced number from each other for years.

Where the 5’6″ Number Came From
The 5 foot 6 figure has been repeated across so many sites that it started to look like an established fact. There is no interview where Tara Mirshokraei ever stated that measurement, no official profile, and no credible source of any kind behind it. The number appears to have originated on one low-quality content site and then spread through hundreds of others without verification. That is how inaccurate information about public figures gets locked into search results and stays there.
What Tara Said Publicly About Her Own Height
This is where the actual evidence is.
In May 2023, Naluda Magazine published a full sit-down interview with Tara. When asked to describe herself in three words, her answer was:
“Fun, Crazy, Short.”
That is a published, on-the-record statement from Tara herself. Someone standing 5’6″ — above the American female average of around 5’4″ — does not describe themselves as short in a media interview.
The more visible piece of evidence came around the same time. From January to March 2023, Tara ran a multi-city stand-up comedy tour across the United States. She named it the “Selling Myself Short Tour.” That was not a throwaway title. It was a direct, deliberate reference to her petite frame, and she leaned into it in front of sold-out rooms across the country. The final show in Los Angeles sold out.
Wikitubia, the dedicated reference resource for YouTube creators, independently lists her height at 4’11” (149 cm) — consistent with everything she has communicated in public.

Background: Maryland, a Strict Household, and a YouTube Dream
Tara Mirshokraei was born on July 31, 2000, in Maryland, to Iranian immigrant parents. Her father, Arash Mirshokraei, is the CEO of The ASA Group, having previously led Valley Construction Inc. Her mother, Tabassom Sarlak, works in the private sector.
She grew up as an only child. The experience of being raised in a Persian household in America is something she has spoken about openly, including in a 2023 YouTube conversation with creator Vereena Sayed about what that upbringing actually looked like day to day. She now lives in Los Angeles.
Her first Instagram post went up on July 19, 2017. It was a photo of her eye and fingers, not the polished modelling shot most bios assume started everything. She crossed 100,000 followers within two years of that post. Her YouTube channel was created in 2012 but stayed inactive until March 18, 2019, when she uploaded her first video.
In a 2025 interview with Euphoria Magazine, she reflected on that early period:
“I grew up an only child, so if I wasn’t with my friends, I was watching YouTube videos. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I want to do that.'”

Where she stands on social media (2025/2026):

- Instagram: 3 million+ followers
- YouTube: 2 million+ subscribers
- Combined reach: 14.5 million+ followers across all platforms

August 2024 — Headlined two consecutive sold-out nights at The Roxy in Los Angeles for her first headline DJ shows. She had made her DJ debut earlier that year in New York City. On that first set, she told Euphoria Magazine:
“What was going through my head was, ‘don’t mess up at all,’ and then I did. I was putting my hands up, and then I hit my elbow and hit the pause button.”
October 15, 2025 — Attended the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at Steiner Studios in New York City. Her appearance was covered by Variety and documented by Getty Images.
She also co-hosts the Dropouts Podcast alongside Zach Justice and Jared Bailey, taking over from Indiana Massara, with episodes releasing weekly on YouTube and Spotify. She has been featured in Lucid Magazine, Unclear Magazine, and Euphoria Magazine.

The Actual Answer on Tarayummy’s Height
Tara Yummy is 4 feet 11 inches tall. She put it in her own words in a published interview, built a sold-out national tour around it, and the figure holds up across every credible source that has covered her. The widely circulated 5’6″ claim has no verifiable origin behind it.
For someone who turned her height into the title of her first major live tour, being listed as above-average tall on hundreds of websites is one of the stranger footnotes in her career. The “Selling Myself Short Tour” sold out. The number those sites ran with never had a source.
