Chapter 1: What did Kim Petras wear to the interview?
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?
um yeah they're comfortable like i would say like like pool slide vibes pool slide just a little heavier but you're not going to like run in those no even though i probably could and should i just have to say i'm so happy for you you are everywhere right now in the best way your music your personality like everything you're doing is just fucking incredible And I'm so excited for you.
You won a Grammy high, like no big fucking deal. How did it feel to win a Grammy and how did you celebrate?
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.
Chapter 2: How did Kim Petras feel after winning a Grammy?
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
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
It's cool. Dude, that is so crazy to think about going on stage and accepting a Grammy and just being like, I hope I can get my words out. I hope I say one thing that like, did you have a full speech planned or no?
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.
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...
I can't believe this. That's so interesting. I feel like now having sat down with people in the music industry, like we were talking about Anita. Yes, the best. The best. Shout out. We love you, Anita. Shout out. But Anita also kind of talked to me about that of like, she's actually really shy. And then like she has this alter ego that she infuses into her music.
And it's just the way that she's able to like put her, I guess, side like personality that she wants to be into Anita the character. Yeah.
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.
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.

Chapter 3: What has been Kim's experience performing in gay clubs?
I love that answer so much. And we're going to talk about Slut Pop in a little bit. It's truly iconic and it's called Our Daddy. something very cool about your career is the fact that you are self-made you have been doing this since you were super young you were teaching yourself how to write and how to produce in your bedroom where do you think that drive came from honestly from
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
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
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
inspiring to hear you talk obviously about like there's a lot of people that can probably relate to you of like being really isolated when you're younger not feeling like you're fitting in and just like trying to find an escape which you clearly found the best escape for yourself and it worked out what would you say to your younger self that like kim sitting in her room alone just being like kind of isolated and getting picked on live a little
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.
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.
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.
That's why like the Internet is I hate it and love it because you're so like I remember when I was younger, like YouTube, I would find like anything that you were going through. If you were alone, you could find someone somewhere on the Internet on YouTube.

Chapter 4: How does Kim Petras view her identity as a transgender artist?
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.
I was going to say, yeah, like what is dating life like now as a pop star compared to like maybe a couple years ago where you still had like a little amenity?
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...
say that you want me now right or i don't have time for you you know my clog just slipped the full clog it felt like it was 500 pounds we just hit the floor oh you're like i don't have time for you boom yeah oh that's interesting so like does that make you sad a little bit that you think like do you have do you think people are seeing a persona of yours and then you have to like deconstruct it and be like i'm not really always like that
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.
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...
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

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.
you know just like shut my doors be a total witch in the hills like see no one um and pretend like halloween doesn't exist and watch horror movies yeah so i would pick that and then you can just go dress up another time of the year
yes okay that's fair i like that would you rather fuck someone who is absolutely silent or someone who screams the whole time someone who screams the whole time at least i know that they're into it you know like but silence would just throw me off right like at least you know they're there yeah totally it would just make me feel like
they don't want this to happen.
