Slayyyter live review – raucous show announces a new princess of sleaze-pop

The Guardian · 3 hours ago

The Guardian's review of Slayyyter's Los Angeles show at the Shrine describes a raucous, sold-out performance that marks the cult pop star's breakthrough into the mainstream. After struggling financially on her 2023 tour, the singer, born Catherine Slater, released Beat Up Chanel$ in 2025 and delivered a career-defining Coachella set, propelling her alongside other late-breaking pop artists such as Zara Larsson, Raye and Tinashe.

The show supported her fourth album, Wor$t Girl in America, which she had intended as her farewell record before finding renewed success. Staged on a set resembling a small Missouri home, complete with a carousel horse and a timelapse Missouri sky, the performance combined pop, hard techno and Americana grit, backed by a live rock band. The review praises the clarity and power of her voice, likening her delivery to Dua Lipa, Chappell Roan, Ariana Grande and Courtney Love, and highlights the precision of her stagecraft, positioning her as a rising "princess of sleaze-pop".

  • Slayyyter's LA show marks her breakthrough from cult star to mainstream pop act.
  • Follows 2025's Beat Up Chanel$ success and a career-defining Coachella set.
  • Show blended punk energy with polished production and a strong live band.
