Hailey Welch, famously known as the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, is about to take her viral fame to a new platform. She has officially partnered with the streaming service Kick and will make her streaming debut during the upcoming DreamHack Atlanta event, where she’ll host her first live stream and a special meet-and-greet session.
Hailey Welch rose to internet stardom through a viral YouTube interview that turned her into a meme sensation on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Since then, her fanbase has skyrocketed, and she’s successfully capitalized on her internet fame, launching the popular podcast Tawk Tuah. With over 2.6 million followers on Instagram and more than 300,000 on X (formerly Twitter), her presence continues to grow. Now, with her recent collaboration with Kick, she’s poised to expand her audience even further.

Kick, a rising platform in the live-stre aming world, has been making waves by signing big-name streamers, including xQc and Amouranth, both of whom landed massive deals. Welch’s partnership with Kick, though not officially confirmed as a high-profile deal, aligns her with some of the platform’s top creators. There’s been speculation, notably from X personality @FearedBuck, that Welch may have secured an agreement with Kick, though no formal statement has been made by either Welch or Kick regarding the specifics.
DreamHack Atlanta, the stage for her Kick debut, is a gaming-centered event that attracts cosplayers, internet personalities, and competitive gamers alike. This year’s event features prominent streamers from both Kick and Twitch, including Agent00, Amouranth, and Demisux, alongside Welch. During her appearance, she’ll also promote her foundation, Paws Across America, which advocates for animal welfare and provides financial assistance to various animal charities across the United States. Fans attending DreamHack will be able to scan a QR code to learn more and contribute to her cause.

Welch first teased her DreamHack Atlanta appearance in an October 2nd post on X, where she announced her meet-and-greet and revealed that the event would be live-streamed on Kick on October 5. Her verified Kick channel, which sports the official green checkmark, already has a growing following eager to tune in for her debut.
Hailey Welch has been riding the wave of her viral success with determination. Her podcast Tawk Tuah quickly shot up in popularity, becoming the fourth most-listened-to show on Spotify, trailing only behind well-known figures like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan. Despite her meteoric rise, Welch has remained focused on using her fame for good causes. In July 2024, she donated food, toys, and other supplies from Petsmart to a local animal shelter, further cementing her reputation as someone who’s giving back to the community.

Her rise to fame has not gone unnoticed in other spheres of entertainment, either. Welch has gained attention from NHL fans after referencing hockey goalie Jeremy Swayman in one of her posts, and even WWE star LA Knight has taken note, humorously comparing her podcast’s name to his catchphrase in a recent X post.
While some may debate the merits of viral fame, Hailey Welch has proven she can harness it for both personal success and charitable endeavors. Now, as she prepares to make her streaming debut on Kick, it’s clear she’s just getting started on her journey as a major online influencer. Whether it’s through her podcast, charitable work, or viral memes, the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl is making a lasting impression, and her fans are eager to see what comes next.
