Theres never been a pop star quite like Kim Petras.
With a single woo-ah!
That kind of star power is rare.
I love living in a bus and waking up in a different city.

I feel like its what Im meant to do.
Kim Petras makes music for It girls, gays, and dolls.
Isnt it deliciousdivine, eventoact like a bratsometimes?
Its the best feeling in the world to clap your phone shut.
Nothing feels as satisfying as that.
That was always my dream.
Now I do, so thank God!
Eat that all my haters!
But that was my first single.
But I dont need a sugar daddy like I wanted in the song.
I became my own sugar daddy,like Cher said.
Turn Off the Light
I’m an ooky-spooky girl forever.
Halloween is my Christmas.
And that was such a freedom.
Ive always really, really loved Halloween and the self-expression.
Also, I am such a fall girly.
I love horror movies.
I love going to haunted places.
I love visiting haunted jails and haunted houses and Salem and learning about everything spooky.
And it was such an honor for me to have the Queen of Halloween Elvira on this track.
I love her and her movies and her art so, so much.
I feel like it solidified my place in horror that she was down to be on this.
Alone
Theres no one like Nicki Minaj.
I would literally quit my life and do anything for my queen.
She showed up at the music video and knew her angle.
I feel like I learned a lot from watching her and being in her presence.
I need the lighting to come in this way.
And just thats the way a professional works.
I am a pretty anxious and shy person.
I need to tell people and I need to tell people to listen to me.
It really inspired me that she was like, I know best.
And just delivering that in a way thats professional and nice and constructive.
I aspire to always remain as authentic as she is and as unbothered and just on my own path.
I can only hope to have a career as incredible as hers.
Unholy
Sam is such a friend of mine.
We just talk shit, talk about everything, and we had such a blast making the song.
It was just a bonus crazy thing that it took off this way.
Because really, truly, no one expected it to do what it did.
So Ill never forget it.
Because I dont think Ive ever had that many eyeballs on me in my life.
Sam and I really went through the wringer with this one.
Were a problem in that way already.
People already have a problem with us.
It was a big mental lesson.
I really feel like it made me a lot stronger.
So Ill forever love that song for how much it forced me to grow.
And Im sograteful to the Grammysfor letting me perform.
Madonna helped me really find myself.
And its crazy how the music industry and music in general is such an equalizer.
Thats why I love music.
I dont think it matters who you are, where youre from.
Music touches people and emotions touch people, and thats something that makes people equal.
I got kicked out of church because I was too controversial as a person.
They were like, Youre confusing everyone.
So religion was never an option to me.
So this song to me is very personal.
