During the video, she was asked a series of not-safe-for-work questions including, "What’s one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time?". Welch, in a heavy southern accent, replied by saying, "You gotta give ’em that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thang," referring to a sound made during oral sex.[1] The original video went viral, earning millions of views across TikTok and Instagram, spawning remixes and remakes of the original audio, and earning Welch the nickname Hawk Tuah Girl.[2] Wanting to capitalize on the viral video, she partnered with a local apparel brand to begin selling Hawk Tuah merchandise, selling over $65,000 worth of it within a couple of weeks.[3][4] Because of her newfound internet fame, she quit her job at a bed spring factory, in order to pursue other ventures in social media.[5] On July 2, 2024, Welch signed for representation with The Penthouse.[6][7] That same day, Welch started an official Instagram and TikTok account, amounting over 100,000 followers on Instagram in the span of one day.[8]
