Catherine Grace Garner (born September 17, 1996), known professionally as Slayyyter, is an American singer and songwriter.

This time was an "expensive experiment" in which she started her career as a musician, writing "'80s lo-fi pop" that she herself produced and edited, but never published.

[7][8] After a 14-second snippet of the song gathered attention on Twitter with over 200,000 views,[9] "Mine" was released on Valentine's Day[10] and in less than 24 hours reached number 38 on the iTunes pop chart in the United States.

The tour began on June 24 in New York City, and concluded on July 27 in her hometown of St.

[15] On January 21, 2021, Slayyyter announced her debut studio album, Troubled Paradise, set to be released on June 11.

[16] The second single from the album[a] and title track, "Troubled Paradise", and its music video were released the following day.

[25][26] On November 5, 2021, she released the standalone single “Stupid Boy”, a pop-dance song featuring Big Freedia.

[31] On October 3, 2022, Swedish singer Tove Lo confirmed via Instagram that Slayyyter will be the opening act on the North American leg of her Dirt Femme Tour.

The more conventional electropop[37] and dance-pop[38] style of the album deviated from the hyperpop sound of her previous releases.

On a separate but related occasion in early 2024, Gaga later commented that she "loved" a TikTok video of Slayyyter lip-synching to her unreleased song "Brooklyn Nights".

Various sources refer to her as a hyperpop musician,[46][47] but Slayyyter herself has stated the label doesn't accurately reflect her sound and she "want[s] to be seen as a pop vocalist".

[48] Her music style has been likened to Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton,[49] as well as sounding somewhat "like Charli XCX on whippets".

[7] Slayyyter cites Spears, Fergie, Timbaland, Nelly Furtado, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Heidi Montag, Janet Jackson, and Whitney Houston as some of the artists she listened to the most growing up and who ultimately influenced her musical style.

She later apologized for the tweets, saying that "I have grown and changed so much in the past eight years and the person I am today is not who I was at age 15.
