Naughty Natt [new] Now

The first viral video? A two-minute clip of her rearranging a grocery store’s “Express Lane” sign to read “Expressive Lane,” then proceeding to check out a single stick of gum while dramatically lip-syncing to a Evanescence song. 12 million views. What makes Natt naughty rather than, say, awful ? It’s a fine line, and she knows exactly where it lies.

Last year, she was banned from three different miniature golf courses in a single weekend for “re-interpreting the rules” (her words: “If a windmill is a hazard, why can’t my foot be a hazard?”).

“People want to be mad at me,” she says, “but they also want to be in a story with me. I’m the main character they’d never admit to loving.” Naughty Natt is not just a personality; she’s a franchise. Her merchandise line — featuring slogans like “Sorry for What I Said When I Was Bored” and “Rules Are Just Vibes” — sold out in 12 minutes last Black Friday.

She pauses. “Is that therapy-speak? Sorry. Want to see me re-label a fire extinguisher as ‘Emergency Confetti’?” The first viral video

“I was a really sad kid,” she says, suddenly still. “My dad left. My mom worked two jobs. The only time anyone paid attention to me was when I did something wrong. So I kept doing it. And then… it turned out I was good at it. And then it turned out that being good at being bad made other sad kids laugh.”
