SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Hailey Welch became famous overnight after being interviewed by YouTube's Tim & Dee TV, who are well-known for doing person-on-the-street interviews.

While we won't go into the whole interview, she immediately became known as the "Hawk Tuah" girl for how she answered one of the questions. 

Welch has since quit her day job and made thousands selling merch and doing appearances. She was brought on stage at a Zach Bryan concert and threw out the first pitch at a Mets game.

On Sunday, she will host a Labor Day party at a Riot House in Scottsdale. The event starts at 8 p.m. and runs until 2 a.m. Click here to find out how to get tickets.
