Rebecca Black has come a long way since becoming famous at the age of 13 thanks to the wildly popular or shall we say not so popular hit ‘Friday’!
The now 25-year-old is currently touring Australia and looks completely unrecognisable in a recent interview with Aussie morning show Today Extra.

In the interview, Rebecca is seen rocking a rather edgy look. Sporting multiple tattoos and piercings - she has definitely matured her image over the years.

'I'm so excited to be here in Australia now and to be almost 12 years after [Friday],' she said.
'I just played a sold-out show in Melbourne, and to be able to build an audience that really resonates with what I'm doing now as opposed to this thing from back in the day, I feel really grateful.'
I’m sure we all know the iconic song that helped us through many Friday afternoons, however, when the song was released Rebecca copped a HUGE amount of hate toward the song as internet trolls ran wild!
She became an overnight sensation for all the wrong reasons, as the song went viral for being excessively "awful," criticised by both comedians and the general public, but some described it as "sickeningly catchy."
I mean we haven’t managed to get it out of our heads for 12 years, so maybe, just maybe, she was on to something!
The video gained more than 166 million views on YouTube in just three months of its debut, but of course, the majority of the viewer interaction was unfavourable, and at one time it had three million "dislikes."
Luckily as time has passed Rebecca has been able to continue to pursue her music career and grow as an artist, I mean clearly, you get an international tour for nothing.
