The Hot Girl Summer Tour: A First for Megan Thee Stallion
“The Hot Girl Summer tour is gonna be 2024 summertime. This is gonna be the first time I drop an album on time for the summer,” remarked the “Savage” artist. She aims to give her fans, referred to as “the hotties,” an authentic Megan Thee Stallion experience. However, the exact date and location for the tour’s launch remain under wraps.
Megan’s Stint in the “Mean Girls” Musical
The announcement follows Megan’s cameo in the recently released “Mean Girls” musical, an adaptation of the original Broadway musical and 2004 hit film. Collaborating with actress Renée Rapp playing the modern-day Regina George, Megan co-created one of the soundtrack’s entries, titled “Not My Fault.”
Past Controversy and the Road to Recovery
While Megan Thee Stallion captures headlines for her musical accomplishments, her trials haven’t escaped public attention. In September, she made news when rapper Tory Lanez received a ten-year jail sentence for shooting her in 2020.
Expressing her mental anguish during a conversation with “GMA,” she confessed, “For the past couple years, music just seemed so negative to me. I wasn’t in a good space mentally after everything that had happened to me.” According to her, creating new music served as therapy, resulting in “a real diary entry.”
Continual Dominance: Both Onscreen and in Tunes
Despite the adversities, Megan Thee Stallion keeps soaring high. Prior to the pandemic, she released “Hot Girl Summer,” remaining a vital part of the music scene and beyond. In 2020, her collaboration with fellow rapper, Cardi B, on “WAP” emerged as that summer’s defining anthem. Megan also showcased her diverse talent on the Disney+ series “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” acting as herself in an episode.
This summer promises to showcase a whole new side of the artist. The anticipatory buzz surrounding her first ever solo tour, coupled with the arrival of her third album, is a strong testament to Megan Thee Stallion’s unyielding prowess and star power. The stage is set for a “Hot Girl Summer” indeed.
