Breakfast TV’s ‘crab girl’ Taylor Haynes on going viral

One minute, Taylor Haynes was doing a live cross at the Sydney Fish Market. The next, the Today show reporter was going viral around the world.

After a crab latched onto her finger during an Easter weekend segment, Taylor became an overnight internet sensation, dubbed “the crab girl” across every online platform. But behind the headlines is a broadcaster who has spent more than a decade working toward her moment on screen. On this episode, Taylor shares what really happened during that now-infamous live cross, the reality of becoming viral overnight, and why she refuses to read the comments.

You can see more of Taylor on Today and Weekend Today on Channel 9 and 9Now.
