Megan Thee Stallion

The inaugural Hot Girl Summer is, sadly, coming to an end. But the reign of Megan Thee Stallion—who coined the seasonal phrase and encouraged us to live our most authentic, unbothered lives over the last few months—will outlast daylight saving time. The gifted Houston rapper first turned heads with the 2017 video for “Stalli Freestyle,” in which she skillfully rhymed and twerked through her hometown’s suburbs. When she opens for Meek Mill and Future, expect heady lyricism, unapologetic sex-positivity, and even more cockiness than from the headliners.
