“Are there any rules anymore? I feel like I don’t set rules in my life for myself. Maybe I should.”
With luscious golden curls and a Moschino cheap and chic babydoll white dress, supernova Slayyyter echoes late icon Brittany Murphy in Uptown Girls – but the baton is now firmly in her hands. Long adored and affiliated to genre-defying label PCMusic, Slayyyter leans into a new era, one where Americana-rhinestoned glam is infused with midwestern basement-club grit. Strutting in bedazzled Dorothy ruby heels with US glitter and fringed-up micro shorts, Slayyyter carries a loud and loaded arsenal with gritty electro, infectious pop, and the rawness of rock. Hailing from Missouri’s St. Louis, she gets more introspective and personal in her upcoming album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, in which her midwest roots are winked back to through reappropriation of US baseball darling meets rocker cowgirl charm. After all, the worst girl in America might wear (vintage) taxidermised fox stole and enjoys the occasional fishing trip (rhinestone catch included) – all in her buckle bunny world. And of course, there’s a track titled Brittany Murphy – consider the baton passed. Here’s 10 thing$ you $hould know about Slayyyter.
The most special item in her wardrobe:
My moschino cheap and chic doll dress, it’s the same style one that Brittany Murphy wears during her sidewalk sale in Uptown Girls when her character Molly needs money and sells all of her clothes. Relatable.
Biggest misconception about her that people make:
That I’m super sexual or a crazy partier. I actually am pretty anti-social. I spend all my time shooting visuals and making music and clothes. Every once in a while I will go out and be on a sick one but I try not to as much anymore. Almost 30 vibes.
Most dystopian thing she finds about Hollywood:
Everything celebrities do feels dystopian to me in this current climate lol.
A rule lives by:
Are there any rules anymore? I feel like I don’t set rules in my life for myself. Maybe I should.
In high school she was:
Weird, artsy, chronically online, annoying, and a bit of a burnout. I skipped class a lot.
Current (niche) obsession:
Rhinestoning.
Her comfort food:
Anything my mom cooks for me.
Most rewarding song on WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA:
DANCE… I think it’s one of my best vocal performances, very natural and done in only a few takes. I think the drop after the intro feels so electric and so cinematic. It was the song and demo I played the most before anything was released.
Biggest 2026 manifestation:
BE EVEN WORSE.
Hottest take:
Coolness and peacocking one’s “good taste” has gotten so performative online that I think being cringe and tacky is the new “cool”. Be free.
What pop music means to her:
Sound artistry and visual worlds that define culture and periods of time.
