Then, in December, Dixie performed at the Garden and nine other venues for the Jingle Ball concert series alongside Ed Sheeran and the Jonas Brothers. And together, the sisters have a lucrative brand, Social Tourist, a joint venture with Hollister sold at roughly 500 of the retailer’s stores.

Born in the Philippines and later raised in Texas, she enjoyed performing and singing as a kid, but her parents didn’t want her to pursue show business. So after high school, Poarch served in the U.S.
