The first trans performer to top the Billboard 100 continues to make headlines for her ***-positive pop. But that persona masks a more complex artist
Kim Petras’s **** Pop era is over. At least, it is for now. That was the title of the 30-year-old German-born, LA-based musician’s last EP, released in February. The first lines of the opening track – cheekily imploring listeners to disrobe – set the tone. From there, other offerings on the record continued in the same catchily explicit, ***-positive vein.
“It was a very freeing record to make and perform,” Petras says. “I wrote it at the time when OnlyFans was looking to ban *** workers from their platform. It’s ****** up how badly *** workers are treated; how they’re disrespected. I wanted to make music that championed them and took the shame away.”
