Spanish native here: the Spanish that speaks in this video is like an American Spanish with and scent of Italian accent :-) But a very fluent one.

Do you mean Mexican Spanish? Genuine question as there are MANY Spanish dialects in the Americas.

No. She goes for a Spain Spanish (specially the last sentence), it doesn't sound Mexican (or any other discernible Latin American accent) at all.

It still sounds a little bit Italian...

She goes for Spain Spanish, you can notice this because most S sound like Z and she says something like "pues" (which is commonly used in spain). The last sentence she says something like "a huevo cabron" with spain accent but the expression itself is very mexican.

Spanish s doesn't sound like z except in my hometown area.

It sounded Castilian to me too. I just had no idea what was meant by "American Spanish".

No, she goes for Spain Spanish. I'm a native Mexican and I had trouble understanding what she said.

Funny thing: at the end she said "a huevo cabron" which is a Mexican expression but she was using a different accent.
