Hailey Welch, known to many as the “Hawk Tuah Girl,” capitalizes on her newfound fame, earning thousands for her public appearances in New York City. The 23-year-old shot to stardom after a street interview with Tim & Dee TV went viral, thanks to her controversial sexual advice: “Hawk Tuah and spit on that thang.” This phrase sparked a social media frenzy, propelling Welch into the spotlight.
High-paying appearances in iconic NYC venues
Welch’s meteoric rise is translating into substantial earnings. She is set to make over $30,000 from three appearances in New York City, including a pop-up at the iconic Memory Motel, according to the New York Post.
One notable event is a daytime fan meet and greet at the famed East Village location on Saturday, July 13, with ticket prices ranging from $45 to $55. Additionally, Welch will appear at the Ugly Duckling in Long Beach and Bull Smith’s Tavern in Smithtown.
Recent onstage appearance with Zach Bryan
Welch’s New York outings follow a high-profile appearance with singer Zach Bryan during his Nashville concert. Welch took the stage at Nissan Stadium as part of Bryan’s The Quittin’ Time Tour, joining him for a performance of the fan-favorite song, “Revival.” Dressed in a cowboy ensemble, she wore a white crop top, matching ripped denim shorts, white knee-high cowboy boots, and a large hat, holding a beer in her hand.
Signing with the penthouse
In addition to her public appearances, Welch has signed with music management firm The Penthouse. Jonnie Forster, the founder of The Penthouse, expressed his excitement about working with Welch. “The world’s gone crazy for Hailey! I’m glad our team can help guide this rocketship. All the podcasters are right, spend five minutes with her and you’ll see why she is America’s sweetheart,” Forster told the Hollywood Reporter.
