Kim Petras is a name that exists in the zeitgeist somewhere between Pedro Pascal, Lukas Gage, and Sam Smith. Basically, she’s one of the internet’s queer darlings, and you can’t open Twitter these days without seeing an adoring mention of the “Unholy” singer. Aside from collaborating with Nicki Minaj and announcing her most recent debut album – even though she’s seemingly had a few – Petras has had a busy few months. Sports Illustrated has announced the pop princess as one of the cover stars of their prestigious annual Swimsuit issue, making her the second trans woman to feature on its pages after model Leyna Bloom in 2021
