\n\tZohran Mamdani<\/a> is officially a Bunhead \u2014 and Kim Petras<\/a> has an enticing, animal rights-centric offer for her new fan. On Monday, the New York City<\/a> mayor-elect shared his love for Petras in Interview<\/a>, prompting the pop star to come in with a proposal: a copy of her yet-to-be-released album in exchange for banning horse-drawn carriages in Central Park.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cZohran Mamdani I am willing to privately send you my new album if we can get the horse carriages banned from Central Park,\u201d Petras wrote on X. Her post was accompanied by a screengrab of Mamdani\u2019s conversation with Interview<\/a>\u2018s Mel Ottenberg, where the incoming mayor listed Petras\u2019 recent single \u201cI Like Ur Look\u201d as a \u201cgreat song.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPetras replied to her own post with a YouTube video screenshot titled \u201cMamdani makes transition announcement,\u201d adding, \u201cThe signs were always there\u2026\u201d \u2014 a joke nodding to her identity as a trans woman.<\/p>\n

\n\tMamdani previously acknowledged the \u201csignificant issue<\/a>\u201d of horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, and a potential ban was one of the few issues all of NYC\u2019s 2025 mayoral candidates agreed on during the otherwise contentious campaign. Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/a>, Mamdani\u2019s chief rival, summed it up in September, saying, \u201cThis is the one issue where we are all in agreement: Let\u2019s free the horses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring an early October campaign event, Mamdani said he wanted to \u201cvisit the stables myself\u201d and create a panel to \u201cassess the health of these horses<\/a>\u201d before deciding what would be the next step. Mamdani added that he planned to work with labor and community leaders to deliver a \u201cjust resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement to Rolling Stone, PETA Director Ashley Byrne celebrated Petras\u2019 advocacy for the New York City horses.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cKim\u2019s wishes are echoed by the majority of New Yorkers, including Zohran\u2019s supporters,\u201d Byrne said. \u201cWe hope his administration ushers in a new era for New York City, in which the cruel spectacle of horses collapsing from illness and exhaustion, having bloody collisions with cars, and making dangerous escapes through Central Park becomes a distant, mortifying, and embarrassing memory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the Dec. 29 interview with Mamdani, the politician was asked about his hype playlist. \u201cI, for some reason, want to listen to Kim Petras or Lil Wayne or Madonna,\u201d he said. \u201cAt eight in the morning, it doesn\u2019t make much sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s not the first time Mamdani has shared his love for Petras\u2019 music. Last month, a clip of him asking a DJ<\/a> to play Kim Petras went viral on TikTok and X.<\/p>\n
