Famous “victims” include Maura Higgins, Louis Walsh and Joanne McNally.

There’s a certain joy in talking about pop culture with your friends and impersonating the people as you remember them. During lockdown, Irish people spent a lot of time consuming content from TV to podcasts.

But without a doubt, the one source of content that captured the minds of Irish people was TikTok.

Kayleigh Trappe, a budding actress from Monaghan, decided to post her lip syncs of classic and modern Irish moments to TikTok as a way to keep herself entertained.

Now, she has over two hundred thousands followers on Instagram and TikTok, with some of her “victims” voicing their approval of her version of events.

JOE spoke to Trappe recently about her online success, which you can watch here:
