Betty Who Releases New Album and Announces Tour Dates

After much anticipated waiting, LGBTQ pop trailblazer Betty Who finally released her newest album BIG!, via BMG.

The expansive, 11-track body of work exemplifies the artist’s larger-than-life personality and indomitable spirit. Each song on BIG! shares a vulnerable tale of triumph and perseverance offering a window into the life experiences that shaped Betty into the powerful woman she is today. Through introspective ballads like the title track “Big” and amped-up anthems like “She Can Dance,” Betty is primed to make her fans feel a full spectrum of emotions.

Additionally, Betty is about to embark on her biggest tour yet. Fresh off a widely praised “She Can Dance” remix featuring Brazilian pop icon Pabllo Vittar and a celebrated MTV VMA red carpet debut, she will kick off her BIG! headlining production in Amsterdam on January 30, accompanied by Italian singer-songwriter Neve.

For her U.S. stops, Betty will be joined by RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars winner Shea Coulee, as well as hyperpop mainstay Slayyyter, who will the duo for the tour’s stop in Washington, D.C. on March 10. 

The tour ends April 1 at The Novo in Los Angeles. Click here to purchase tickets and VIP packages.

For those who are unaware of Betty, all you need to know is that she’s a survivor. Born Jessica Newham in Sydney, Australia, the classically trained singer, dancer, and multi instrumentalist has experienced practically every dimension of pop cultural visibility: going viral on the bombastic strength of 2014 single “Somebody Loves You,” soundtracking Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot with “All Things,” forming deep ties with foundations like GLAAD and the Trevor Project, and becoming an LGBTQ icon due to her infectious, always-inclusive artistry.

Moving from the rigid major-label machinery to rediscovering her power as an independent artist, Betty is primed to kick off her latest, most triumphant chapter on her upcoming project. She also recently made her TV hosting debuting with Prime Video’s new reality dating series, The One That Got Away, which premiered June 24.
