Below, I caught up with Trisha to delve into her wildly colourful past, her endlessly influential present, and what it takes to become a viral sensation.

Trisha Paytas: I grew up between California and Illinois. I moved to LA when I was 18 to become famous like everybody else that comes here, duh . I started off by posting on MySpace to try and meet celebrities.

TP: It was always Quentin Tarantino. My whole MySpace page was about him, and I dedicated my first 50 YouTube videos to him. I went to all of his signing events, and if you google us, there's a picture of me sitting on his lap. I was very Baby Reindeer about it.

TP: I did a lot of reality TV shows, such as Who Wants to Be a Superhero? . But I was also in Eminem's "We Made You" as Jessica Simpson and in Amy Winehouse's "Tears Dry on Their Own", as well as appearing in Modern Family and Celebrity Big Brother UK .

TP: I was making really good money from 2015 so I would spend it all on production for movie recreation. If I had $50,000 in my account, that's what I would spend on a video and then the amount kept going up. I never saved before 2020 really. Over the course of 10 years, I've spent over $12 million dollars.
