As our country faces unprecedented times in the heat of an election year and remains more divided than ever, there’s one individual who has restored unity. Her name? HalieyWelch, better known as, “hawk tuah girl.”

Welch went viral earlier this summer while visiting Nashville with her friend and making a sex joke on a vlog that was polling random people in the downtown area. “You gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang,” Welch said in the original video when asked what makes a man go crazy in the bedroom every time. “You get me?”

The Tennessee native’s response has since gone completely viral and her life went from small town living and working a minimum wage, factory job to big-time fame as she now makes high-profile public appearances, has hundreds of songs about her, her own merchandise, and gets marriage proposals on the regular.

“I actually had guy last week at one of my appearances propose to me with a ring pop.... It’s hard to turn down,” Welch told KROQ’s Klein/Ally Show. before detailing just how much her life has changed. Welch appears to be embracing the fame and new-found attention well as she went from not being on social media at all to almost 2 million followers and the ability to quit her minimum wage job on a whim.

“I really didn’t even plan to quit,” she explained of recently putting in notice at the spring factory she worked at. “The day I quit, I had no intention of doing it, but I was like, ‘Well, I might as well. I’m fixin’ to start traveling a whole lot.’ It’s a factory, so you got points and stuff like that you can use when you’re calling out and I was running out of points,” she laughed.

While she is embracing new opportunities and cashing in on being in what she described as “the wrong place at the wrong time,” Welch is also staying true to her humble roots and making sure she never forgets where she came from. “I know this is probably all a mind, brain fog with all this stuff going on — cash in as much as you can, but you need to get back home with your grandma,” a caller named Ken shared while calling in during Halley’s segment on KROQ.

“I agree completely, I’ll be there with her soon,” she responded. “Don’t you worry.”
