Appearances
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I would say that. I was, like, really, like, a maniac, just, like, only working. And I feel like my whole teen years, like, I didn't go to, like, parties. I was, like, just, like, just fully focused.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And so I would tell myself to live a little and that things are going to happen when they're supposed to happen and that it's all going to, you know, work out and that it's okay to go with your friends and it's okay to try and have a social life because, like, the answer isn't always just, like, Well, they all hate me, so I just got to be by myself and be this studio goblin.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
You know, I can actually also just... Yeah. But also it was a little bit of a different time. I mean, that was like so long ago now. I legitimately didn't know anyone else trans. And, you know, so I was an Internet kid. I would just find people online who I could talk to and things like that. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
could have just blacked out and I thanked my mom and so it was just like such a like big moment that I didn't think would happen ever since then it's just been like a lot less sleep like it's definitely like post Grammy like it's just like kept going and kept getting more and more and more but I like it so yeah
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Yeah. Um, I feel like it's a unique situation. So I like to talk about it now because I feel like it's, it's something where, um, yeah, it's just like a unique point of view. And I think it comes in as my strength sometimes that I get to write from that perspective because like, um, that's always just going to be a big part of me that that I am trans.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I think that gives me in songwriting like such an interesting angle. And I think what's so special about music is that that is like when I came to America and started going to studios, it really didn't matter who I was. It just mattered. Like, am I good? Is my songwriting good? Can I sing?
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
You know, and I feel like the more art that I get to put out and the more music I get to make, the more I become an artist rather than, you know, all the labels that people put on me. And it's not just a trans thing. I mean, it's like if you're a woman and you make music, people just talk about you being a woman in music or you being a gay man in music or all of that stuff.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
You know, we all just get boxed into this label that defines us. And I think
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
trans people in general are a good reminder that gender and all of that stuff is just a label and it really is all about who you are in you know inside and and not about all the stuff you know just because you're this doesn't mean you have to like this or do this and gender is is a much is a thing that matters a lot less i think and says a lot less about people than we think
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And yeah, you are whatever you want to be and whatever's in your mind.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And every person is their own thing, you know, completely. And I feel like just more than ever, I'm just trying to, you know, show people that
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Well, I think Madonna is someone who broke a lot of these gender stereotypes and who can be very masculine in some of her music and talk about sex very freely and in a very different way.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
way and just like was so ahead of her time and like liberating people from feeling this shame about their sexuality and especially gay people I mean she did that shit in the 90s when it was really really rough for gay people and I will forever just like
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
feel inspired and liberated by her taking the hit for so many people because she really, you know, was called like a witch and like all this crazy stuff for just talking about her sexuality and just being so all out there. And I respect that in someone.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
It can be so powerful. if they can let that bounce off of them and like, well, I am still going to talk about whatever I want to talk about. I'll never forget like right before the performance, right before, because there was a little break because it cuts to me. She had like a little whip and she was like, like mouth to me, like go get a bitch and like whipped her little whip.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I was like, I was like literally just, and I was tied up in this cage. So I like couldn't say anything back. It was like arms up. You're like, I don't know about that.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I did. But I like five minutes before like our category was on, I just like put it away. And I was like, just speak from like this moment and from your heart. And yeah. Uh, yeah, because Sam really put me in spot. Sam was like, I'm going to have you accept the Grammy if we win it. Uh, just because I've done it and like, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, please, no, don't do that to me.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
No, totally. It's so freaking cool. And like what she said too, because like I think she was saying that she was supposed to like do like the record of the year or something like that. And she said she wanted to introduce the first trans performer at the Grammys. And like, I was like, oh, you really are the coolest to ever exist.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
meet her for the first time drunk at an SNL after party yes she came to the SNL after party how drunk were you I was so obliterated I just kept talking her like ear off about Confessions on the Dance Floor and I was like that's one of the best like albums ever it's a timeless classic and like people don't really like appreciate it enough and like and when he did this on Ray of Light it was like the most it changed my life I was listening to it I felt like so much less alone and like I was just talking her ear off she was like mm-hmm mm-hmm and then she was like we should take a picture and I was like
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Posting it on my Instagram. I feel like I have no decency left anyways. You can find nudes of me anywhere. I was going to say, yeah. I feel like I have my tits out at every shoot. At this point, I'd rather do a nude because I feel like calling my parents during sex would be disturbing for them.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
A month without sex, I'm definitely there. Yeah, I'm so single. And, like, honestly, like, I've just been so busy. Like, there's no hope right now. But it's, like, okay. Like, I'm very happy.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
The thing is, like, the music almost acts, like, as that, like, excitement and, like, that crush that I'm obsessed with because I can just, like, listen to it again and again and again and, like, get really obsessed and, like, change little details about it. And, like, all the little crushes I have on the side always end up in the music. So I, like...
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Like, I was like, please. Um, but I'm so grateful now that I like did it and like, I'm such a shy and nervous person in my life, which you wouldn't think for my music, because my music is kind of where I live out my craziest ideas and fantasies. But I'm a pretty shy person. And so, yeah, that was wild. And I remember looking at J-Lo's face and Jay-Z sitting there and just being like...
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I make it and then listen to them and think of them and how they're not
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I mean, Halloween is gay Christmas. You know, it's like it's so so in me. I think but never watch a horror movie again. That would be OK. Halloween is just once a year. I would like.

Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
oh it's such a rough one i feel like accidentally bite i mean it's not defined how hard it has to be you know maybe it can just be a little tooth right like a little a little snaggle yeah like just a tiny bit too right it's better than throwing up because i don't think i could work that out on therapy right right like it would have to be the kind of throw up where because i've had that before where you basically do throw up but you you're
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Yeah. I feel like planes are like. Plane bathrooms are just gross.

Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I feel like cars are just in general, like such a good spot, like being in a car with a boy and.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
No, I'm not dating anyone. Are you interested in dating at all? Yeah, I mean, I'm interested in it. But honestly, I feel like it's been something that's just like, I'm good without too. And I feel like I've always been a relationship girl. Like, I love a relationship. I'm not like a...
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
quick hookup girl even though like sometimes you know I don't have a choice like sometimes I have like boys in different cities like that I can just call up in every city that's a fun thing to be on because I know you got your road beef I know my road beef yeah no that's good but just right now I just feel like I don't know who would like fit into my crazy life right now. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Because I'm just like always doing shit and always traveling and I'm never in the same space for long enough to even like really, you know, do something meaningful.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Yeah, it's really changed it. I feel like people are just in general like a little scared of me now, which is kind of good. You know, it just like weeds them out. Like you have to just like...
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Yeah, I think in general, like, Slap Pop really changed how guys see me because, like, I feel like a lot of the guys that I'm dating have heard Slap Pop and, like, know that. And they're like, you know, and it's like, yeah, I'm the girl who sings Throat Goat, you know, and it's like... And they just feel like they have to live up to this crazy expectation. I get that.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
It's such a persona for that record that it's like, that's not me. I'm also someone who just wants to watch horror movies with you and cuddle and be cute. Totally. All of that. And the last thing I want is for you to be scared of me. Right. So if you're scared of me, I'm immediately cutting you off because that makes me feel horrible about myself. Yeah, I get that. Because I'm just like a...
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
genuine person and i really feel like i'm but i have crushes on the wrong guys like all the time really what do you have a type i i don't really i feel like every single guy is like is very different i think the type that i have is just like the energy being good and and um being funny being honest being like loyal um i think that's like the big ones for me and just like how i like sweet guys i like when you're sweet
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
but you just said you're picking some of the wrong guys so yeah what's going on so the not sweet guys yeah i don't know just guys who like keep me like dangling or i think they have to constantly like do stuff to you know keep me obsessed with them then i'm on the road and like then you don't talk to me and then i'm back it's just like yeah it's exhausting it's exhausting do you let your friends set you up with people or no
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I do. Yeah. I went on a date with a guy who my friend set me up with recently. Didn't really go anywhere, but it was fun because like sharing similar friends, you can at least talk about the friends. True. You know, you can just like talk about them.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Totally. Totally. Yeah, I let my friends set me up for sure. When was your last relationship? My last relationship was, like, one and a half years ago. And that was, like, a five-year relationship. So, like, a long one. So I feel like I'm still, like, anyway at the part where, like...
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
i need to like be myself get over that relationship and all the stuff that that did to me because it wasn't like a very nice relationship and made me feel awful about myself for a few years and that's the worst i should have like cut it off when i felt it um but yeah i you know it was it was the first time i broke up with someone and the thank you
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
How did you pick your outfit today? Um, just kind of, I went off the clogs. They really dictated everything else. I don't know, just kind of felt like witchy. I've been in my witchy vibe. You need to confirm for everyone though, are they comfortable?
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And the first time that I just really feel like I did the right thing and listened to my intuition and got out of it. And I know a lot of people who don't get out of relationships that don't fulfill them. And they're almost like a new person when they get out of it. Like it's like, oh, my God, you're back. And, you know, like you're you're like yourself again and you're happy again. And.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Which is kind of cool. Do you feel like that's similar with you? One million percent. I feel like that's always just been like my saving grace in life from like my shyness. It's just when I'm on stage, it's like something clicks and I'm a completely different person. And I just feel in line with everything. I don't overthink myself.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
So that's my main thing. I never want to, you know, I mean, no one wants to, but just, I really don't want to be in any relationship that doesn't make me feel good and feel great, you know, because I'm such a pleasing person and like, I feel like I always used to just like, I just want you to be happy and I don't care if I'm happy. Yeah. And that's that's a bad thing.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I think that goes back to me as a as a kid, as a teen. Like, I just hope one day like a guy can see me as a girl or show me any attention, you know, and like see me as a normal person, not as a freak. You know, I think it goes back to that. Me just wanting to, you know, well, he likes me, so I'm going to do anything for him and like completely forget that I have value as a person. Yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
you're you're gonna live and it's gonna be okay and you're gonna figure it out again you're gonna get back into it and honestly life like on your own sometimes can be so much more like purposeful and uh fulfilling i feel like really i personally like thrive when i have like
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
time by myself where i just literally do whatever it's like recharging and i think in general like i wish i would have done that in my relationship more um and and yeah i mean um i feel like relationships are the hardest thing to to figure out they really are and so hard They're really, really hard. They're really hard. But right now, I'm having fun. And that's awesome.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I feel like I'm just, like, finally, like, back at the place where I, like, love being alone and spending time by myself and where I just shut my door and just do whatever. Amazing.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I don't think there is one. I really think that first dates are always going to be a little awkward. And, like, I just, like...
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
you know i i feel like my my first thing i do is probably try to drink because i'm so nervous i get really really nervous and it's such an awkward thing when like you know that you like technically are attracted to each other but like you have to like figure it out yes a little dance um uh but i feel like in general just doing something like active like going to like an arcade or going at the fun's
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I feel like confident because like the one thing that I know how to do is perform and write songs like that's always been like everything else. I'm like horrible at and just like can't like I can't even cook like I can't do shit.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
yes doing something so you're not just sitting across the table being like yeah hello totally yeah how are you doing where you can actually do something yeah but i also like i like when you show me like one of your favorite places that you actually like actually love going instead of like i want to try out this new place like just show me like yeah where do you actually go
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I live in the moment. I've definitely done the first date, you know, fuck. But I think it's usually when I do that, like I'm then like not interested anymore. It's like, yeah, I feel like it's just like.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I need to like give it time and like I need to be like obsessed with you and like you're like I need to let it simmer for a bit more I realize now because like once I broke up I would just like go home with like every single one of them every time and it was really really fun I had a great time you know.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I mean, maybe it was just the guys. Maybe it was just a situation. I don't like to like make a rule in general.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
But I think just like the guys like I went home with, I was just like, I just needed like rebound attention. Totally. And so I just like, yeah. And then I was like, eh. I get it. Growing up, who was your celebrity crush?
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
yeah in the wig as that character he was so hot i know it was so hot like i i because i totally uh yeah i don't know that was just like i i remember like how like having a poster of him and like just being so obsessed with him and i will forever be obsessed with him i'm gonna meet you but you must think just legolas yeah
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Here we go. That's why we're here. And that's why we're here.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Yes. Slap Pop is this really Euro house dance 90s inspired EP. And me and my friends would always make pop songs that were slightly slutty and say, oh, Slap Pop. And so I just decided to go with it and make an EP and just be the most slutty version of myself that I could wish I could be in life. You know, but I feel like I'm too shy to be that all the time.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
So, yeah, I just kind of let it all out on that one. And a lot of people were really had interesting reactions to it. And I think it's the funnest thing in the world to scream out the most obscene shit and just be like, I'm a fucking slut. Fuck me. You know, it's just...
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
it's so freeing every time i do it it's addicting and uh and yeah i recommend to check it out it's just what are some of your craziest lines that if people haven't heard it it's like give it give them a little something okay um these can suck like me walk in on the sucking queen look around all eyes on me jack it off i'm a suck it clean
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
what's my name what's my name I'm the throat goat yeah it is poetic it's beautiful it's touching to me it's pure beauty you know if you are you know you might not get it you might get it but if you get it you really get it little dirty bitch I love to fuck
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
it's so it's so good kim other than your own catalog what's a song or an artist that you would also classify as like slut pop oh uh britney spears's blackout era that yes it's just the best oh so like dirty and full sweat pot yeah well that was definitely a huge inspiration for that i also think that kylie minogue has a has a bunch of songs that i would i would put on slut pop
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Um, I think in general, when I made that, I think I was just like in a phase of my life where I felt like I was like a little, you know, just not talking about that part of my life enough. And I have so many friends and especially as a trans girl, it's like that are sex workers. I, you know, porn is great. Like sex work is work. And it was a moment where
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
OnlyFans was going to ban sex workers from its platform, which would have taken away the livelihood of a lot of my friends. And so I was like, I don't think that there's anything wrong with that. And I think that everybody needs to stop villainizing sex workers because there's a huge demand for it. We need it. And there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I also always think, you know, if my life hadn't gone the way it did and I hadn't like been able to transition really early and stuff like that, I would have probably, you know, done that to be able to transition and to be able to be myself. So I wanted to take the shame out of it for my friends, for myself. And I think just in general, people need to be less afraid of it.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I think especially women and girls, there's so much power in like loving yourself
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
sex and like you should love it you should figure out what how you know what you like about it and not be you know please men like that's not the goal like in sex it's like you having a good time and so I'm just a huge supporter of that and that's been something that's been hard for me to figure out you know because like I have always just been like crazy for guys and like how can I please him in any way and once I kind of broke out of that I was like
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I was in my school, like I remember being like such a like freak to everyone because like since I was a kid, it was like very public that I was trans and like I was very open about it. And so I was just kind of this like nerdy, weird kid and like no one thought I was like
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
It's the funnest thing. I love giving blowjobs. It's my favorite thing in the world. I pride myself in it. And I think that's awesome. It's all on you. You're center stage. It's your time to shine. It's literally your time to shine. And like. It's like watch me go. Eye contact. Like that's a very important one. And I don't know. It's just like. A little sloppy. I love when boys really like that.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
pretty or sexy or anything like that and so um I I doubted being able to do that stuff and especially being like in a swimsuit was like I was I definitely had like a nervous breakdown like the day before I'm like can I like pose in a swimsuit and be that because I just yeah I didn't think I could but then there's like amazing people and photographers and like the whole Sports Illustrated team who just like hyped me up and were just like
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
But, like, I got to really, like, trust someone. And, like, if you really, like, like me to Dom, I will do it. And I like when someone can give me a really specific –
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
like this is what i like like do this like i love that and maybe that's why i'm subby because i just like i like in those situations to be told what to do and just to like do that um but yeah but also i can be done i feel like i swing both ways love it love it when you say treat me like a slut what do you actually want your partner to do kim
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
um fuck me um i don't know bend me over i'm not opposed to a little choking um all that good stuff just just put me into position and go i love how you just push your glasses so i could you're like goodbye i'm just i'm not making eye contact with you right now bend me over put me in position let's go let's go
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I feel like I need to hold it up for all the for all the young kids that are trans and getting, you know, their rights taken away and all of that stuff that, you know, I I try to find the best causes to to help. I try to
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
stay in touch with all my trans friends and all of that but just in general i think it's brutal how people treat trans people it's just like everybody deserves to live their lives how they can you know and the the way that they know how to get through life and i feel like the the judgment around it is still so intense and scary.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And there's so much like actual like murder and things like that in the trans community that are really, really terrifying. And it's such a beautiful, beautiful community. And that's the one thing that I just like want people to know, like the dolls have each other's backs and, Like we love each other.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I feel like there's so many trans friends of mine that I couldn't live life without that are such like beautiful lights. And just remember that and find the people who get you and who support you and focus on that because. I still get called a man every single day, you know, like and that's OK. It's funny to me at this point.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I'm like, I'm a man, you know, because like I'm yeah, because like I feel like I've been called like that since I was 12 and all of that. So to me, it's like. brush it off at this point. But I know how horrible that situation can be. And there's just a very public hate campaign on trans people right now that's disappointing and sad.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
But there's also a lot of people who really care and who really are pushing and just know that it's an up and down swing with trans rights, like it has been with gay rights, like it has been with anyone who's different than the norm.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
and uh it's it's gonna probably get better and swing back around at least that's what i hope but in general know that like there's amazing people out there who have all got your back and you think you're really beautiful and you deserve everything you deserve love you deserve to be seen to who you really truly are and don't settle for anything less i've done it and it sucks and uh yeah i love y'all oh my god
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
yeah especially in america it goes with like uh you know birth control and things like that it's the same exact kind of thing where there's just people trying to tell people what they can and can't do with their bodies and it's wrong and no one ever should and it really like and like makes it so much harder for people to just like live their lives and make their own decisions and it's just so annoying that
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
need to control other people in life to get to be comfortable in life like you need to be able to control your woman to live with your ego and shit and so you know because you're too scared she's gonna go in you know yeah it's all to maintain their power yes and it's like have your power over there let us have our power over here fuck off totally but like oh we i mean we could sit here for fucking hours tell them that they can't bus anymore yeah
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
For me, it was it started with kind of feed the beat because I feel like I constantly need to listen to music and just do my thing over beats. Then it turned into Feed the Beast because I had an album leak and my label told me, you got to get back in the studio, make new songs and go feed the beast. And that was literally like, okay, let me think about this.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And then I kind of thought about myself and like my personal ambitions and I've always wanted to really play the pop game. I've always wanted to make big pop songs and big melodies and be like a real player in the music industry and, you know, do big shows and all of that. And I was like, there was a part of me that was a little ashamed of that for a while. And I was like,

Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
but i'm like a gay club darling and like maybe that's just like all i want and all i all i want to be and i was like no like my passion is to go for it so go feed the beast go feed that what what i feel like almost ashamed of to want yeah go want that and and own it and don't be afraid of it and
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
you know so I feel like for me the album is a reminder hopefully to my fans to really find what it is that you can't live without and go all out on it and don't be afraid to take up space and don't be you know scared to make it as as massive as you want to make it and as ridiculous as you want to make it and yeah go feed that.

Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I mean, I'm still waiting. No, I mean, I honestly I think what gave me a lot of a lot of confidence and what built my confidence was becoming an artist and becoming a writer and going on stages and stuff like that. And once I kind of found my like

Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I think I just I think I just had it like a shift creatively where I just like kind of was a bitch to my co-writes and took more control and was like, I just really came in with like full songs flashed out again, kind of kind of like I did in the very beginning. Before people like wanted to work with me, I just came in with fully fleshed concepts and then just was like, we're writing this.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I feel like I really took control. I worked with some people I've never worked with before. I like did a bunch in Sweden. I did a bunch in London. So it really feels like that like major label really executed on the best level of my abilities. Wow.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And I'm really grateful to my label for allowing me to do that and for allowing me to take the time to really make something that feels whole and complete and that feels this exciting because I think you're going to freak when you hear it.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
literally literally um yeah all of those places i think that's the funnest thing about this i think it has a lot of a lot of club moments but it also it does have a ballad um which is like kind of an unconventional ballad which i'm excited for people to hear because like
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
never really do that like i'm very yeah against ballads usually like i love like celine dion but i didn't think i could do that stuff right here she comes here i come uh but yeah i think you can really i think you can listen to it from front to back by yourself getting ready in the bathroom you can listen to it in the in the club you can all of that stuff so i think it's an overall
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
overall listening thing yeah i'm so excited for you and for thank you this summer are you going on tour what are yeah uh not uh later this year like a little after summer and now it's gonna be up uh but yeah i'm going on tour um and i'm so so excited to go on tour because like it's been a freaking while and it's my favorite thing in the world and like i missed it like nothing else in the world and so i'll just be traveling i'm doing a bunch of really cool festivals like all over the world
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)

Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
friends and and gay people in general who like celebrated me for who i am and uh that whole you know i think once i started going to gay clubs i was like i belong here and i i get the music i get the people i get what it's all about so i think that's when i started to like myself and all of that but I think in general, like it's never like my goal to be like sexy or to be hot.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
It's always like I want to bring like a little bit of a like weirdness to things because I've always felt like I was kind of just like on the outside of things. And I find I don't know, I find more happiness in looking a little off and a little weirder than just looking hot.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
uh will come to uh nancy fata oh german is the unsexiest language of all time i feel like that's why i'm also like i've just always been like a little more uh the weird german immigrant you know in in america because like it's just not a sexy language i have a song on my spooky halloween album where i sing german and it comes in handy when you want to sound scary
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
oh most people are really scared when us like when i yell at you in german you're scared wait can you yell at me in german like alex off get your together ask me better questions Oh my god. Alex, give me better questions.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
They just really immediately kind of got it. I mean, I remember like my first few years, like going back and forth from New York and just kind of being a club kid and having my first few songs out and just like performing on a bar stool or like a table, you know, like and people were just like, I get this and I understand this.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And just like, since I'm a part of the community, it's like, it makes sense. But they were the first, like all the little Bushwick kids, like were the first ones to play my music. And I'll never forget that because it was like with a lot of like going into like labels and stuff like that. It was a lot of, um, we don't know what your demographic would be.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And like, is it, you know, you make gay club music. And it was kind of a, in a bad way and not in a good way, like to them, because like that wasn't gonna make as much money. And that's always really confusing to me because to me that's like the coolest thing when people play you in gay clubs.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I think if anything, it made me double down on it. Whenever someone says that something is something that I'm passionate about and something that I love, I go harder in that direction. It's not it. I go harder in that direction.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
and uh i feel like so that honestly gave me like so much like will to like prove that there's people who will come to my shows and uh that i can have a big song and all of all of that stuff yeah and we can sell bitch we won a grammy yeah we can totally we have number one when you're saying you're in these clubs
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Totally. Like doing my fans poppers on stage, hitting weed pens from my signing weed pens. Yeah, I signed all kinds of body parts. I hung out with the hottest porn stars.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
yeah like it was it's wild and I love it and I still like every now and then I just like need it I just need to go to you know like a warehouse rave and go crazy and do all that but yeah those were like iconic moments I think also Amanda Lepore being at my first gig Amanda Lepore is this like New York icon and yeah just so many iconic people that I've met through clubs that is
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
It felt insane. It felt like something that just shouldn't happen to me. Honestly, you know, I'm I'm such a like. you know, I've just been performing in gay clubs for so long and been like in that scene. And like Sam really changed my life with that song. And I mean, I went to Diplo's party after. So that was really, really fun. Diplo's fun. He's fun. I'm a big fan.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
undetected but I can't go to gay clubs anymore without taking a million photos and I party you know I feel like I really love to you know just party and not think about how I look and you know that might be not the you know I'm like sweaty and red and all the pictures and so that's put a little bit of like pressure on it but like I feel like I figured out my like disguises and stuff like that and
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
yeah honestly like i need like a fake beard and like oh yeah i feel like that'd be really good yeah like a little short haircut crew neck totally maybe like red or maybe that's too much attention maybe a black sunglasses huge mustache totally a detransition moment
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Oh, I think it goes way later in Germany. I think people are down to be there until the morning, which is fun, especially if you like think about like Berlin and like Berghain and all that stuff. It's definitely and there's more techno. There's weirder music in general. It's just like a lot of electro music. I would say house music is huge. Do you prefer American clubs or German clubs? Oh, yeah.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
They both have their, you know, pros and cons. I think in general, like, now, like, American clubs because, like, I need to actually be up the next day and do stuff.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
I endorse this. I endorse this idea. Like I love like starting early now and just like waking up the next day, not completely fucked.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
Oh, my favorite song of mine to play in a club. Treat Me Like a Slut. Yeah, I have this record called Slut Pop, which is all just like my sluttiest self and just only saying the most ridiculous sex shit there is, which was so freeing and fun to make. And honestly, like I feel like all my coolest fans, like that's their favorite. So, yeah, Treat Me Like a Slut.
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
And yeah, I just like saw my friends and we were all just like in disbelief, just like, oh, my God, this really just happened. And I'm so grateful I got to like shout out Sophie on stage and that I remembered that, too, because like I
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
being excluded from social life I feel like no one really got me you know in my like small town in Germany because I'm not not technically from Cologne even which is already kind of a small city I was like two hours outside like countryside
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
cows grass um and i just um i loved music that was kind of the one thing that i would always do like always listen to music on repeat and pop music in particular and i would just harmonize and make my own little concepts and things like that so i think it's just something that comes like natural to me um but then i would just like sit down in my room and just really
Call Her Daddy
Kim Petras: The Throat Goat (FBF)
every single day because i didn't like school i wasn't very good in school i wasn't horrible in school but i was like okay in school and i was just like i'm gonna be the next biggest hit songwriter and that's the skill i can work on every single day and uh yeah and then i got into writing jingles for like commercials and trying to write for other artists pitching songs and yeah i really felt like feel like that is just like my my savior is that i'm able to write music yeah it's so
