.KingPrincess69 is a new kind of pop star.
At one point during her November 1 show at New York’s Terminal 5, 20-year-old Mikaela Straus—better known as King Princess—looked out at the crowd and announced, “I’m gay.” Once the cheers died down just a bit, the pop up-and-comer performed “1950,” her first single from 2018. “I hate it when dudes try to chase me,” Straus sang. “But I love it when you try to save me.” Of course, her fans knew all the words.
King Princess just dropped her first full-length album on October 25. Cheap Queen features songs just as timeless, sultry, and honest as the ones on Make My Bed—as Straus previously told Them, “I’m not somebody with chill, so my writing has no chill, either.” On this new album, Straus explores practically every step of falling in love or lust , breaking up , and all the messy in-betweens . To support the release, she played two sold-out hometown shows in New York.
What was almost as amazing as Straus’ performance, though, was the community she created in three hours. At the end of the show, I noticed two girls, both a bit younger than me and giddy from a post-concert high, struggling to take a selfie. When I offered to take a photo for them, they assumed the position: one wrapped her arm around the other’s waist and kissed her cheek.
