REIMAGINE AGING
At 99 years and 274 days old, viral sensation Pauline Kana achieved her lifelong dream of breaking a world record during a country music concert in Bellville, Texas.
Known online to millions as "Gangster Granny," Pauline was brought onto stage by country star Brantley Gilbert.

Supported safely on a padded stretcher, she was lifted above a roaring crowd of 20,000 cheering fans. Her grandson, social media creator Ross Smith, orchestrated the stunt, earning Pauline an official Guinness World Record as the oldest person to crowd-surf.
