Kirk mimed along to the words before flashing a peace sign at the camera and moving in for a close-up. She also added the text: “proof of life after 12 million views on X lol” on the post. Her caption was even more telling as it read: “In the words of Paris Hilton 🤷🏻‍♀️” The quote is one of Hilton’s most famous pieces of advice, originally delivered while discussing 2000s fashion, nightlife and maintaining a positive attitude. It has since become a popular social media line, often paired with Hilton’s iconic “That’s hot” catchphrase. Kirk’s followers clearly approved of the message.

The Baggies forward gave the camera another close-up as she showed she is determined to keep having fun Credit: Instagram / @taramaekirk She joined the Baggies in February after four years with Peterborough, where she became something of a cult figure in women’s football. In February, she spoke of her online presence and revealed: “I was going through the comments and trying to understand what all this hype is. “I understood quickly that it was positive, but also crossing the line of borderline being sexist and sexualising me. “So, yeah, it’s kind of balancing the good with the bad. That’s what I’ve had to learn.” Kirk has since continued to embrace the positive side of her huge following while making a name for herself on the pitch. Now, with another viral moment under her belt, the Baggies star appears determined to keep enjoying herself. Comment now
