Slayyyter Talks 'Wor$t Girl in America,' Growing Up on Tumblr & New Music | The Rolling Stone Studio

The morning after ‪@slayyyter‬ made her late-night debut on ‪@fallontonight‬ with the viral single "Dance...," the pop phenom joined writer Larisha Paul in The Rolling Stone Studio for a conversation about the breakthrough year she thought would never come. After years of losing money on tours and achieving minor successes, the artist born Catherine Grace Garner decided she would make one last album before calling it quits. #worstgirlinamerica turned out to be her golden ticket. #slayyyter spent the first weekend after its release performing to an overflowing crowd at Coachella. They raged along to "Crank" and "YES GODDD" and took in her Tumblr-inspired graphics during “Brittany Murphy” and “Gas Station." A few months after the festival, Slayyyter tells us she's in the process of making new music inspired by the sudden influx of attention she’s received. A quiet life back home in Missouri doesn’t seem to be in the cards for Slayyyter anymore. The spotlight is calling. ⸻ Talent: Slayyyter Interviewer: Larisha Paul Director of Social & Video: Waiss Aramesh Head of Film & Premium Content: Alexandra Dale Executive Producer: Christopher Hwisu Kim Senior Producer: Viviane Feldman Social Video Producer & Editor: Sim Tumay Creative Director: Joe Hutchinson Executive Music Editor: Christian Hoard Co-Editors in Chief: Sean Woods, Shirley Halperin CEO: Julian Holguin    / rollingstone
