Career

Taylor began her career on YouTube March 12, 2016, at first recording ASMR videos on her phone. Shortly after hitting 50,000 subscribers about 1½ months after uploading her first video, she was featured in a gaming video by PewDiePie.[6] At 2 months, close to 100,000 subscribers, Taylor stopped producing work for her Youtube channel and placed all of her videos on private, mainly due to technical issues with new equipment and being overwhelmed by her popularity.[7] After a month long break, she began making videos again, including the very popular ASMR 10 Triggers to Help You Sleep (35 million views as of August 2022).

In July 2017 she uploaded another popular video, ASMR 20 Triggers to Help You Sleep (38 million views as of August 2022). She was in August 2017 interviewed in a Shane Dawson video[8] and shortly after she reached 1 million subscribers on YouTube.[9] In February 2019, Wired UK estimated that she was earning $1,000 per day from advertising revenue on her YouTube channel.[5]

Taylor voice acted and was a model for the character ASMR Sweetie in the VR game Fire Escape, released in April 2018.[10]

In June 2018 she began streaming on Twitch, in the beginning gaming most days a week with a weekly ASMR stream. As of 2022 she streams ASMR two times a week.[11]

Taylor was featured in an episode of The Try Guys in February 2019.[12] In summer 2019, she participated as one of five ASMR creators in Reese The Movie: A Movie About Reese,[13] a 1½ hour long advertisement for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, made in ASMR style. The same year she was in the ASMR panel at VidCon 2019 in Anaheim, California.[14] In September 2019, Taylor was performing and discussing ASMR with Neil deGrasse Tyson and Kelly Clarkson in The Kelly Clarkson Show on NBC.[15]
