Walking out in a white collared shirt reading “BLEACH BLONDE BAD BUILT BUTCH BODY” behind a skinny black tie, lesbian pop icon Reneé Rapp commanded the Austin City Limits stage from the very start.
Rapp, whose 2023 debut album Snow Angel artfully cemented the former Broadway star turned Sex Lives of College Girls’ actress’ jump to pop stardom, is known for her gorgeous ballads and vengeful cuts that foreshadow an ex-boyfriend’s monstrous offspring. The crowd gathered early, like a little gay garden growing and growing as the sun slowly set behind the stage, and Rapp did not disappoint.
The quote on her t-shirt is from Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who used it in response to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. during a heated hearing after Greene made fun of her eyelashes. “This one is for Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Rapp said ahead of the vicious “Poison Poison” where she curses out a girl she doesn’t like in a rare (and iconic) portrayal of female unashamed rage. “Me and Jasmine Crockett hate you.”
