Meet Katie Nickens, the sassiest 11-year-old in the Southwest, whose hilarious breakup texts with her now ex-boyfriend Joey have been seen around the world after her older sister tweeted screenshots of the amusing conversation.
“It was crazy. I got like 1,000 followers overnight when I woke up,” Madi Nickens, 17, told ABC News of the shocking response online.

Katie’s “quick-witted,” as her mother describes her, response to catching Joey at the park with another girl named Natalie is one of the funniest things to hit the Internet this summer.
“Ding ding ding!,” Katie texted Joey in what would become of the best breakup burns ever. “Oh what was that, oh yeah the elevator, cause your not on my level!!!”
And with that, Katie became a rock star. Her sister’s tweet with the caption “HAHAHAHAH oh my god my sisters ‘official break up’ with her bf” has been retweeted 15,000 times and favorited 22,000 times since she posted it on June 29.
“When I first found out, Madi came into my room and she was like, ‘you’re famous,’ and I was so confused,” Katie, of Plano, Texas, recalled. “I was mad for a little bit but then I saw how many retweets and favorites it had and then I was like, ‘Wowwww.’”
And Katie is sticking to her guns about the breakup, encouraging other girls to be strong enough to do the same.
“You can stand up to boys,” she explained. “Just speak your mind.”
Apparently Joey never responded to the now famous elevator line, but Katie says she's perfectly fine with that.
“It feels pretty good,” she said. “He had nothing to come back with.”
Katie’s mom, Tammy Nickens, says her feisty daughter doesn’t fall too far from the tree.
“Yes, we do have a quick witted one. She gets that from her dad,” Tammy quipped, adding however, “She did get in a bit of trouble with some of the language (Screw You).”
Their mom isn’t thrilled with this entire situation, but nonetheless, “It has been a great lesson for my girls to see though just how fast something can go viral, and how far it could go,” she said. “Who would have ever thought that this would be nationwide - much less worldwide.”
And just for the record, Katie says she and Natalie are now good friends.
