"it was meant to be the highest form of praise. Since then, JT has penned heartfelt Pride letters, supported the Trans Justice Funding Project, and shared plans to marry her non-binary rapper partner Lil Uzi Vert. Last week, rather than break the news of her forthcoming 2026 debut album online, she announced it at the underground ball Open To All Entertainment, attended by queens, fems, and N.Y.C.'s queer underground."
"the streets hissed. I pulled up to Sugar Hill Super Club in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, to catch the "City Cinderella" in the flesh alongside a lineup of queer royalty: Arca, Cortisa Star, Ms. Carrie Stacks, Telfar Clemens, Chicken, Sausha, and NK. A line wrapped around the block going both right and left was populated by people in furs, puffers, and tights."
JT's engagement with queer culture began in 2023 with the lyric "Pretty like a transgender," which sparked widespread debate and was interpreted by many as praise. JT has since written Pride letters, supported the Trans Justice Funding Project, and revealed plans to marry non-binary rapper partner Lil Uzi Vert. The forthcoming 2026 debut album was announced at the underground ball Open To All Entertainment. JT released an 80s, queer-coded single "Girls Gone Wild" and hosted a no-phones release party in Brooklyn. The Sugar Hill Super Club event featured queer luminaries like Arca, Cortisa Star, Ms. Carrie Stacks, Telfar Clemens, and others, with attendees in expressive fashion and a foggy, neon-lit atmosphere.
