Haliey Welch, the “Hawk Tuah” Girl, met her celebrity crush this week.

Welch is somewhat of a celebrity herself following her viral phrase and might still be in shock over how much life has changed for her. But, as much as she’s moved on up, she’s still a regular girl who will never stop loving some guy who goes by the name “Pookie.”

Regular girls typically have celebrity crushes, and Haliey is no different. She was lucky enough to meet him – although it was on Facetime – after revealing who he is during an appearance on ‘Good For You’ with Whitney Cummings this week.

Who Is Haliey Welch’s Celebrity Crush

It turns out that the “Hawk Tuah” Girl is a big fan of comedian and actor Matt Rife, whom she got to chat with during the show.

Rife invited her to hang out next month.

“I’m in Nashville August 24th doing Bridgestone Arena, do you want to come out?” he asked.

She said yes, of course.

“Do you want front row, or do you wanna be off to the side like backstage? What do you prefer?” he inquired.

“Put me back there with you, my boy,” she replied with a smirk.


Given her desire to get into comedy, we just might see some form of collaboration between the two. We wouldn’t bet against it.

It doesn’t appear that her 15 minutes will end before summer leaves, if ever. Plus, it’s believed that there’s a whole lot of stuff in the works that should keep Haliey Welch front and center in the coming months.

Travis Kelce brought back the ‘stache to start the 2024 NFL season, and not many people are happy about it.

Travis Kelce recently stepped out rocking a mustache for the Kansas City Chiefs’ Thursday night matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

While the Chiefs’ star tight end has long been considered a beard guy, he walked onto Arrowhead Stadium field to start the 2024 season with a terrible-looking mustache.

Fans got one look at it and proceeded to roast his life away.
