Singer-songwriter Kim Petras, currently on her Feed the Beast tour in the US, is basking in the electric atmosphere generated by her LGBTQ+ fan base. In an interview with Interview Magazine, Petras revealed her love for touring and how her best self emerges onstage while performing for her legion of queer admirers.
A Vibrant Atmosphere
Petras enthused about the “insane” energy she’s been receiving from the crowds during her concerts. She mentioned that her music truly shines when she performs in venues with a “warehouse vibe,” where people can stand, dance, and revel in a setting that feels more like a lively party than a stadium show.
Embracing the Party Vibe
Acknowledging the exuberant atmosphere at her shows, Petras expressed her delight that her concerts have occasionally ignited passionate encounters among her queer fans. When asked about the passionate energy in the crowd, she responded with pride, saying, “There’s definitely gay sex happening, which is lit. In the crowd, and that’s the goal.”
Continuing a Tradition
Kim Petras joins a list of performers who’ve celebrated their fans’ unabashed enjoyment at their shows. Lady Gaga, recalling an incident in 2009, shared how thrilled she was to learn that two men had sex during one of her New York concerts. Similarly, Lil Nas X playfully encouraged a wild atmosphere at his Long Live Montero tour, even addressing the use of poppers among his audience with humor.
Petras’ candid acknowledgment of the vivacious queer energy at her concerts underscores the unique bond she shares with her LGBTQ+ fans, making her live performances truly unforgettable experiences.
