Her "true" breakout came in 2012, when her music career took a truly outlandish and humorous twist. Her first four singles from that point could charitably qualify as anodyne parodies of mainstream {{Pop}} music, but in 2016 Sabater released a bizarre pop/dance theme named "La Salchipapa" that appeared to be a serious (if painfully failed) attempt at her own summer hit, which went viral after Sabater caused a publicized Website/{{Twitter}} brawl against a random detractor. Sabater rode the wave with gusto and initiated the tradition of churning out yearly themes in the same artistic line, always featuring ridiculous music videos, highly sexual imagery, skimpy costumes, and very deliberate attempts to make the viewer reach for BrainBleach. All of her songs since have become memetic in Spain, turning Sabater into an icon of the most guilty kind of ComedyMusic, and it's unlikely this new fame will fade off soon.

Offscreen, Sabater is known to be a much saner person than she looks, having revealed that she is aware of the crap she makes and admitted that she basically does it [[ItAmusedMe because she finds the whole thing hilarious]]. In her own words, viewers should not try to understand her work, but just laugh and enjoy the spectacle (if they can actually endure the watch, of course).

Sabater became famous during the 90s under prestigious TV journalist Jesús Hermida, although she had previously appeared in legendary quiz show ''Series/UnDosTres'' as a chorus girl. Her breakout, much to the shock of those who know her from later times, came as a regular host of kids' shows, presenting a variety of programs like ''No te lo pierdas'', ''Desayuna con alegría'', ''A mediodía, alegría'' and ''Lo que hay que tener'', gaining fame among kids for her weird face, strabismus and ease of manner. In 1999, after several years balancing this work with other tenures as actress, singer and host in other media, she left the children's world altogether, except by sporadic occasions, and became instead a RealityTV personality.

* CanonWelding: Her 2022 song "Papá Noel lléname el tanke" crossed over two other songs of her, "Mr. Policeman" and "El Polvorrón", creating which some nicknamed the Letiverso.
* DoubleEntendre: Absolutely constant, although whether they register as entendres in the first place might often be debatable.
* FanDisservice: Invoked. As odd as it may sound now, in TheNineties Sabater was actually considered something of a MsFanservice, and an example of a female kids show host that provided ParentService (similar to Brazilian kids show entertainer Xuxa), although even back then her "weird face" was a source of jokes among children. However, by the time she reemerged in the 2010s with her novelty songs, she could hardly be described as a beauty in any conventional sense of the word (not helped by the fact that she appeared to have undergone extensive plastic surgery), and yet she's showing off her body in her music videos.
