The Hawk Tuah girl, also known as Haliey Welch, appeared at a beach club in Florida over the weekend and was reportedly paid a large sum of money for doing so.
Daer Nightclub and Dayclub, located in the guitar-shaped Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, welcomed Welch, 21, and had her present a bouquet of flowers to the winner of the Miss Daer bikini contest.
Wearing a Miami Dolphins jersey, Welch can be seen hugging one of the game winners as smoke machines go off and loud music plays.
“You won, and you get to meet Haliey!” the announcer shouts, and Welch and the woman in the red bikini pose for a photo.
TMZ reported that Welch was paid $30,000 for the performance at the club, which is located in the guitar-shaped Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

The club’s many promoters and bottle girls also held a lavish parade to celebrate Welch’s extraordinary milestone of over 1 million followers on Instagram.
A woman holding a giant bottle of champagne and wearing a cowboy hat, Welch’s signature style choice, was transported in a spaceship carried by four men.
Welch appeared overcome with emotion, covering her mouth with her hand and choking back tears several times as the festivities continued.
It’s one of many victories for Welch since her viral Hawk Tuah moment less than a month ago on June 9.
Welch, then a woman enjoying Nashville’s famous Honky Tonk strip with her girlfriend, was filmed by content creators Tim & Dee TV who wondered, “What move in bed makes a man go crazy every time?”
She replied: “You gotta give them that ‘hawk tuah’ and spit on that thing” – and the clip has now been viewed more than four million times on YouTube.
Welch’s girlfriend Chelsea Bradford, who was seen in the background of the infamous video, accompanied her to the Daer Nightclub event.

The Tennessee native recently announced the launch of her own ironically named merchandising company: 16 Minutes LLC.
To make room for her new business endeavors, she quit her job at a bed spring factory in Belfast, Tennessee, 60 miles south of Nashville.
According to a trademark application, she will likely sell T-shirts and hats that read “Hawk Tuah ’24. Spit On That Thing.”
Her willingness to appear in public, make paid appearances and sell merchandise is a notable change from her original desire to stay out of the spotlight.
At first, Welch isolated herself in rural Tennessee, where she lives with her family. Her friends and family built a protective wall around her to shield her from the publicity.
But now she proudly stands next to artists like Shaquille O’Neal and shares the stage with country star Zach Bryan.

However, since she became known for her descriptions of oral sex, she has received unwanted attention from men, many of whom ask her to start an OnlyFans.
“Stop asking me for the link in my bio for my OnlyFans. I don’t have an OnlyFans and there will never be an OnlyFans. I just make funny jokes, that’s all I do,” she said in an Instagram video.
She said she received a request from someone who was willing to pay her $600 to spit in a jar.
Her next move could be heading to Hollywood to star in a new reality TV show. She reportedly spent her Fourth of July weekend meeting with talent agencies and producers.
