Kim Petras has spent the last several years building one of pop’s most distinct discographies, mixing glossy hooks with a sharp, chaotic, and campy edge that’s earned her a devoted fanbase and a Grammy win along the way. This year, she brought that same energy to Ladyland, headlining the festival and capping off one of New York’s most anticipated Pride weekend events.

Between a late breakfast, a soundcheck, and an impulsive Birkin purchase, Petras let V tag along for the hours leading up to her set, capturing the day in real time.

“Having breakfast at 4 PM with Logan!”

“(Sound)check it.”

“Shopping after soundcheck I got my first ever Birkin !! I love the basketball color <3“

“Spare change!“

“The perfect set list.“

“Ready for the show!“

“Successfully sitting on the wall, Humpty Dumpty could never.”

“Middle America shit.”

“Had a blast at the afters!”
