TikTok has birthed another viral sensation, this time turning its attention to the “hawk tuah” girl.
The trend started when YouTubers Tim & Dee TV shared a clip of street interviews with partygoers on their YouTube channel.
In one snippet, a girl responded to an NSFW question with a Southern accent, saying, “Oh, you gotta give him that hawk tuah and spit on that thang! You get me?”
The video, first shared on 11 June, quickly caught the attention of TikTokers, who turned her response into a meme. The “hawk tuah” girl, identified only by her first name Hailey from Tennessee, became an instant hit.
Despite her unexpected rise to fame, Hailey’s humorous response resonated with many, who flocked to TikTok to praise her. Confirming her identity, the video’s original creators tagged her friend and a now-deactivated account for Hailey.
On 19 June, Fathead Threads in Belfast, Tennessee, announced they were selling “hawk tuah” merchandise, with Hailey receiving a portion of the proceeds. “HAWK TUAH OFFICIAL!!! We are selling authorised merchandise representing the hawk tuah girl so she is getting part of the proceeds,” the Fathead Threads Facebook page stated.
