Why Paris Hilton Is The Most Powerful DJ In The World

Author Sammi Reeves
Paris Hilton is more than just our 2000s celebrity queen. She's actually the most powerful DJ in the world.

When we think of the name “Paris Hilton,” a lot of things come to mind. The name conjures up images of reality TV, designer handbags, and a certain era of celebrity. But here’s something you might not know… Paris Hilton has carved out a surprising and successful niche for herself: DJing. Hilton has transcended her reality TV persona to become a sought-after DJ, gracing the decks of major clubs and festivals worldwide, and there’s a strong case to be made for her status as one of the most powerful DJs in the world.

The Spark: Paris’ DJ Career Early On

Hilton’s journey into DJing began in the mid-2000s, a time when celebrity DJs were a novelty. However, her passion for music and undeniable star power helped pave the way for a legitimate career. Hilton honed her skills, taking residencies around the world and ultimately establishing herself as a fixture in the club scene. I mean, after all, her name alone can draw a crowd. People were curious, and her sets at major clubs and festivals often created buzz. This star quality translated into sold-out shows and a guaranteed audience, making her super attractive to promoters.

A Powerful Presence

Paris Hilton has built a dedicated following who appreciate her energetic sets and ability to get a party moving. Of course, there are those who question Hilton’s musical talent. They argue that her success is based more on fame than ability. However, DJing is about more than just mixing tracks. It’s about creating an atmosphere, reading the crowd, and keeping the party going. You can’t deny that Paris has a knack for this. She has also leveraged her DJ career to further solidify her brand and build an empire that goes beyond music. Her undeniable influence on the industry, her global reach, and her shrewd business sense make her a true powerhouse in the world of DJing.

Celebrities Who Have Verified Instagram Accounts For Their Pets

We all know those people who have accounts for their babies or pets. Did you know even Hollywood A-listers take part in that, too? It doesn’t matter if you’re famous or not — if someone feels as though they’ve got some cuteness overload to share, there will be a page dedicated to that. We must admit, it is kind of charming for grown adults to run pages of cute content from the perspective of their furry friends. Some celebrities’ pets have enough followers that their accounts have been verified on Instagram, while others are still steadily climbing in popularity to gain enough followers to get that blue checkmark.

For example, Paris Hilton has an entire Instagram dedicated to all of her “fur kids,” called Hilton Pets (@hiltonpets). The heiress has more than just dogs, which most people don’t know. On her official website, the Simple Life alum has a page dedicated to all the pets she currently has and once had. This includes miniature pigs, ponies, ferrets, monkeys, cats, and bunnies — oh my! Paris even has a verified TikTok account with the funniest and cutest videos featuring her adorable pets.

Benefits of Having a Pet

Studies have shown that the bond between people and their pets is linked to several health benefits, according to the CDC. Pets can increase opportunities to exercise, get outside, and socialize. Regular walking or playing with pets can decrease blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels. Pets can help manage loneliness and depression by giving us companionship. When cats purr, they emit a range of 20-140 Hz, which is known to be medically therapeutic for illnesses and lower stress. Most households in the United States have at least one pet.

    The “Mutt Ball 2019 Champion” was featured in two of Katy’s music videos for “Swish Swish” and “Small Talk,” becoming her “mascot.” Katy added the micro teacup poodle to her furry family in 2016, naming her Nugget, or on Instagram, Miss Nugget Perry. The “TGIF” singer already has a dog named Butters, whom she added to her pet family in 2014.

  • Bobby Flay

    Leave it to the celebrity chef to name his pet after a food. However, Bobby’s orange Maine Coon, Nacho Flay, is a perfect name for the fluffy cat. With over 270,000 Instagram followers, Nacho even has chef-crafted cat food called Made by Nacho. Bobby has another Maine Coon named Stella. According to Flay, he became a cat person because he was an only child. He considered his family’s cats his “siblings” and said on TikTok that he couldn’t imagine life without his cats.

  • Carrie Fisher

    Though the Star Wars alum passed away in 2016, the Instagram page of her famous and beloved French bulldog, Gary Fisher, lives on. Most posts are dedicated to his dog mom, Carrie, with heartfelt messages from the 11-year-old dog. Carrie adopted the dog from her daughter, Billie Lourd, to help manage her bipolar disorder. Since Carrie’s passing, her former assistant Corby McCoin took him in.

  • Andy Cohen

    The television talk show host adopted this adorable beagle-foxhound mix from a kill shelter in West Virginia. However, in May 2020, Cohen announced that he would be sending his rescue dog of nearly seven years to another home due to “random signs of aggression” that he had tried to address. Wacha was re-homed permanently with his “second family” that would watch him when Cohen was out of town.
