On The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she performed her single \u201cDANCE\u201d as an ode to white-trash glamor. She wore a silver rhinestoned leotard, and on each boob was the shiny top of a soda can. Her band rocked white tanks and camo, surrounded by a set covered in laundry lines. Rather than follow the song title, Slayyyter herself commanded the stage by standing still and intensely singing, knocking both the song\u2019s belt and its falsetto parts out of the park. The background projected a midwestern tornado while a wind machine blew Slayyyter\u2019s hair, making it look like she might just get sucked up into it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmpe46x2i00143b7d91k7e0hl@published\" data-word-count=\"116\">Slayyyter, who\u2019s been releasing music since 2018, is just now getting the popularity she deserves. That\u2019s partly come through TikTok trends, which have foisted her funny and personality-filled music into the spotlight. \u201cDANCE\u201d itself soundtracks a trend where people are feeling down and out then suddenly lock in to slay. (See: Keke Palmer\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kekepalmer\/video\/7636236966765301005?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Met Gala TikTok<\/a> that currently sits at over 1 million likes.) Plus, her even louder song \u201cCRANK\u201d has been used all spring to soundtrack graduation videos where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@thomasmateesco\/video\/7637226688744656141?\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">people mouth \u201ccrank it!\u201d<\/a> directly after receiving their diploma. It\u2019s a testament to just how fun her music is that everybody wants to get in on the joke. Maybe she\u2019s actually the best girl in America.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>          Sign up for the Vulture Daily<\/p>\n<p>An entertainment newsletter for the pop-culture obsessed.<\/p>\n<p>        Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n<p class=\"expanded-terms \" aria-hidden=\"true\">By submitting your email, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/terms\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Terms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/privacy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Notice<\/a> and to receive email correspondence from us.<\/p>\n<p>  Related<\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Slayyy.
