With the release of her debut album, 2021’s If I Could Make It Go Quiet, Girl in Red has amassed a huge following and critical success, including support from celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Camilla Cabello. Making the Best of 2021 album lists of Rolling Stone, NPR, Stereogum, NYLON and more, she is certainly a rising artist to watch.
With singles such as I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend and We Fell in Love in October reaching certified gold in the United States, her lyrical depictions of sapphic relationships and discussions of her mental health have cemented her status as a queer icon across the world. With TikTokers asking “do you listen to Girl in Red?” in mid-2020 as a discreet way of asking another woman if she was queer, her songs about the experience of being queer has resonated with her audience.
