Now we’re a little bit more than a year out after the fact. I was doing that while I was eating chicken nuggets and laughing at her. We filmed the ‘Swish, Swish’ music video and I had a little, two-second clip in the beginning where I was holding her dog whose name is Nugget.

Once I figured out all the information, I learned it was Katy Perry's and she brought me down to L.A. I didn’t get to 18 million but got pretty far up there. When I first tweeted it, I didn’t even expect a response, I just thought "Oh, maybe I’ll get lucky because Wendy’s is pretty active and has those sarcastic comments and stuff," but I thought if they did respond it would be something crazy, like "100 million retweets, good luck." When they did respond with "18 million," I was still a little heartbroken because I was like "that’s still not possible," but I said "consider it done" and put it on my Twitter page. When you tweeted that screen grab, was there any part of you, that thought it would actually turn into a thing, let alone one as big as it actually did? Looking back at it now, it felt like so long during those few weeks, but it really was a short period of time. If you told me a month before that it was gonna be that crazy, I wouldn’t have believed you. Within weeks, it was a flurry of me getting all this attention from interviewers, and from friends at school and stuff.

Tell me about the aftermath of your tweet blowing up.
