Out singer-songwriter and TRR favorite Betty Who just dropped her playful new single “Fabulous” complete with a witty, high-luxe music video, portraying the lavish highs and hollow lows of fame through a hyper-stylized lens.
“‘Fabulous’ is, in my opinion, one of my most fun songs to date,” says Betty. “After taking myself annoyingly seriously for over a decade, it feels nice to let loose and be silly.”
“This song came out of me attending a very fancy, upscale Hollywood party where I felt totally out of place,” she adds. “Everyone was air kissing and telling each other how fabulous they looked and I found myself just sort of…playing pretend. Like Sharpay Evans from High School Musical took over my body and was telling famous actors how much I loved their movie (that I never saw).”

The infectious pop-bop is perfect for these last days of summer (or any night at the club).
Adding to the high-brow fabulosity, Betty will be performing with the LA Philharmonic on August 30th at The Ford in Los Angeles. The performance is a rare opportunity to experience Betty’s music reimagined, swapping the pulsing synths of her pop records for the lush, expansive sound of a full orchestra.
But wait – there’s more!
On October 20, Betty will play the role of “Robert Martin” in a one-night-only benefit concert of The Drowsy Chaperone at Carnegie Hall.
Directed by Tony Award nominee L. Morgan Lee and featuring an all-queer cast including Jonathan Van Ness, Laverne Cox, and Alex Newell, the landmark performance will open the Breaking the Binary Theatre Festival and support the organization’s mission to amplify trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming voices in theatre.
