A clip of the music video for Emerson Drive’s 2012 country song “She’s My Kind of Crazy” — starring the Turning Point USA CEO — is making the rounds online.
In the video, Erika plays the part of the song’s love interest, wearing low-rise denim shorts and a midriff-baring top and showing off a “tramp stamp.” The character ziplines in Las Vegas before getting married by an Elvis impersonator at a drive-through chapel.

“I’ve never done this before, and I’m definitely afraid of heights. I’ll survive, I promise… I don’t know what facial expressions I’ll have,” Erika, now 37, says in a behind-the-scenes clip from the making of the video.
“She wanted to be a star. She tried for years,” one commenter posted on TikTok, while others noted that she also appeared on a 2019 episode of Summer House.
“She has some insane lore. It’s like each day, new stuff is being found,” added another, while one commented, “I thought this was AI.”

“Gotta love the internet is forever,” added another, with several crying laughing emojis.
Erika was the reigning Miss Arizona when she filmed the video. She later founded a fashion line in 2018 and met her husband, Charlie Kirk, that same year. They wed in 2020. He was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10.
