One of the biggest personalities in the world, for better or worse, is coming to St. Pete this December. Trisha Paytas, the YouTuber-turned-singer-model-and-podcaster, is reviving her Trishmas Live holiday tour, which includes a stop in St. Pete on December 4 at the Duke Energy Center for the Arts – Mahaffey Theater (400 1st Street South).

Tickets for her show go on sale to the public this Friday, July 24, at 10 am. However, you can use the venue presale code “TRISH” to access presale tickets beginning at 10 am on Wednesday, July 22. More info and tickets can be found here.

If you already know who Paytas is, you don’t need me to explain, and I probably couldn’t anyway. If this is your first time encountering the sensation that is Trisha Paytas, hoo boy, it’s time to strap in. Paytas was one of the original YouTubers to gain fame, and she has used the combination of that early major platform and her outsized personality (as well as her alter ego) to gain tens of millions of followers and nearly as many controversies.

Her Trishmas holiday tour, ostensibly headlined by the previously-mentioned alter ego, is a wild experience that encapsulates the Paytas experience. From streaming on YouTube, she’s developed a popular podcast, become a model, launched singing and acting careers, become an author, and potentially given birth to the reincarnation of Queen Elizabeth.

That last bit may best explain her mystique, oddly enough. Paytas went into labor with her first child right around the time that Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022, leading to a mostly-in-jest theory among fans that her daughter, named Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon, was the reincarnation of the Queen herself. Her second child, Elvis, is said to be the reincarnation of Pope Francis, while her third, Aquaman Moses, is purported to be the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, reborn. Yes, those are all their real names, and no, it’s not likely many people truly believe this.

For a less chaotic version of her story, here’s what The Mahaffey has to say about Paytas and the Trishmas tour:

“Trisha Paytas is a creator, podcast host, actress, and vocalist who, over the past 18 years, has helped shape online culture and inspired a new generation of talent, while building a following of over 20 million fans and 2 billion views on YouTube.

Trisha is known for her versatility; she’s done everything from lifestyle vlogs, ASMR, mukbangs, and cosplay to music videos, comedy skits, and honest, personal monologues. She is currently the host of the top-rated podcasts Just Trish, which is a favorite for fans who love her honest takes on pop culture, and Not Loveline, alongside Tana Mongeau. Trisha has worked with brands like Arby’s, Tubi, elf Cosmetics, Domino’s, and most recently with Benihana launching her own meal “Trish Trio” at all US restaurants, showing the industry trusts her influence in consumers’ product decisions.

In 2024, Trisha took her career to the stage with The Eras of Trish, a 30+ city sold-out live tour that was part concert, part storytelling, part drag show, and full of her signature humor. It was a fun, self-aware look back at her many phases—from her iconic early YouTube moments to being a pop singer, podcast host, and mom of 3. Then in early 2025, she made her Broadway debut with Trisha Paytas’ Big Broadway Dream, a one-night benefit concert at the St. James Theatre that featured stars like Sutton Foster, Ben Platt, and Rachel Zegler. The show was a dream come true and a nod to her love of musical theater. Following the success of that, she was cast as “Maxine Dean” for a 3-week run of Beetlejuice on Broadway, which landed her an iHeart Radio Music Awards nomination for ‘Favorite Broadway Debut.’

She’s appeared in over 50 TV shows and movies, including The Tonight Show, America’s Got Talent, Modern Family, and Celebrity Big Brother UK, with buzzy guest star roles in Euphoria and Hacks in 2026. Her much anticipated debut memoir, Crying on the Kitchen Floor, is set to be released in November and already tracking to be a New York Times Best-Seller, followed by a book tour.”
