Kim Petras Takes On the YouTube Theater: Kim Petras has been shaking up the world for the past couple of years, not least with her performance alongside Sam Smith at the Grammys. She brings her Feed the Beast world tour to L.A. on Wednesday, her biggest production yet, and it promises to be spectacular and subversive. We spoke to Petras back in 2020 and she told us that, “I started in Germany in my bedroom, on my keyboards with GarageBand. I started making my own tracks and writing every single day. I was really determined. It wasn’t very good in the beginning, It took me hundreds of songs to get good. But it was my passion and it became almost a diary of stuff that happened to me.” Look at her fly now.

"I love writing," she continued. "I don’t feel like there’s any time to waste. Also, I just got lucky. Inspiration just dropped and I wrote the Clarity project which came out last year. It just came out and I felt blessed. But I’m 24/7 music. I barely have a personal life and I don’t have any hobbies. Music is my entire everything. I want to drop music and I can’t stop putting it out. That’s my only goal in life. When I’m watching movies or having a conversation with a friend, music is always on my brain."

Alex Chapman also performs.

Kim Petras Takes On the YouTube Theater: The event takes place at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 1 at the YouTube Theater.
