In a Stripped-Xtina and Rock of Love inspired photoshoot, Slayyyter gives insight about her musical career thus far.
- Using pop culture as an aesthetic
"I love pop culture. My favorite Twitter account for the longest time is Pop Culture Died in 2009. I love everything like that. It's fun and silly. I love the color pink, Barbie, that kind of stuff. And of course I love The Simple Life. How could you not?"
- Doesn't mind being a Walmart version of Britney Spears
"Some people online describe me and my music as bottom-rate, Walmart clearance section Britney Spears, I love it because hello, I am that! It's honestly such an honor to be thought of in the same breath as Britney Spears."
- Was boo'd off stage in fifth grade dancing to "Push It to the Limit" by Corbin Bleu at a school talent show
- Would fight with producers about wanting to make pop music
"They are so embarrassing because they make so many dumb assumptions. Like, yes, I write my own shit. I co-write, too! And yes, I love rock music and I also play guitar and I sing. I love a good lip-sync as much as anyone, but I sing live. And even if I did none of those things, it doesn't make me any less legit. But of course we all know that kind of criticism is reserved for women who make pop music. No one comes for male artists like that."
- Stans and supports Taylor Swift trying to own her music
"The whole thing of her fighting for her masters is wild. It shouldn't be that way. Women should absolutely have the rights to what they create. It's like, how could they buy her music from her like that? She wrote all those songs and is the reason any of those men get to line their pockets, let's be real."
