Meg Stalter Shares the Ella Langley Song That ‘Made Me Cry’ & Teases What’s Next for Her Music Career
Stalter, dressed as an astronaut, talked to Billboard backstage before headlining the Grindr Pleasure Ball.
Meg Stalter, the Cleveland-born comedian-actor, recently performed at the Grindr Pleasure Ball in Manhattan, singing songs from her debut album, Crave, which combines satire, social commentary and electropop camp. During her set, Stalter playfully requested that the glittery crowd make FaceTime calls and scolded a look-alike for talking during her performance.
Stalter, who has also starred in Emmy-winning Hacks and Broadway's Oh, Mary!, explained during a Billboard backstage interview that she believes queer people appreciate seeing genuine expression on stage. In her song "Famous Me," Stalter addresses the hypocrisy of society not feeling empathy for wealthy but unhappy pop stars, stating that she genuinely feels bad for them.
Stalter, a self-described Dolly Parton and Kacey Musgraves fan, hinted that country music might feature more prominently in her next album, though it remains unclear how much of it would be sincere or tongue-in-cheek.
