Colleen Ballinger Reveals How Miranda Sings Was Born on 'The Tonight Show'

Colleen Ballinger is mostly known for her online personality, Miranda Sings, and she’s explaining just how Miranda came to life during her appearance on The Tonight Show.

“I was in college and imitating these girls I went to school with. I know, this sounds mean,” she confessed. “And it is.”

Colleen continued, “The girls I went to school with were snotty and rude and they were in my vocal performance classes…they just gave the worst advice and they thought they were so good. I just made these videos poking fun at them and posted them for my friends.”

While she didn’t think no one else besides her friends would see them, they did!

Colleen also reveals that her online haters inspired Miranda’s look, too.

“I would egg it on,” she laughed about the people complaining in the comments. “In each video if they said they didn’t like my lipstick I would make it bigger, if they didn’t like the way I was talking I would talk weirder. So the haters kind of created the weird character. Whatever they hated I would do it more.”
