Though Ashley Leechin has a massive following of nearly 2 million people on TikTok, she claims not to earn substantial income from her content on the platform. "I can't really say you make money off TikTok," she told Rolling Stone. Leechin insisted, "You really don't. You make enough to buy a coffee." According to the influencer, she's been approached numerous times about high-paying opportunities to impersonate Taylor Swift, but she prefers not to. "If I wanted to be a full-time Taylor Swift impersonator, I could actually make a career out of it," Leechin asserted. "I just feel like it's not me," she explained.
Leechin revealed to the outlet that she once offered personalized Cameos and agreed to make paid appearances impersonating Swift, but both caused inner turmoil regarding keeping her personality separate from her performative personality as the singer. She also told CNN that she has hard limits to what she's willing to do for jobs she's offered as a Taylor Swift lookalike. She explained, "It got to a point where they wanted me to nail that look down so much to wearing blue contacts. I refused to do that."
During her conversation with Rolling Stone, Leechin expressed interest in leveraging her massive following to make money by simply being herself. Additionally, she spoke about pursuing a career as an actor, preferably in minor supporting roles.
