Slayyyter Draws 5,000 to Sold-Out Los Angeles Show as 2023 Tour Losses Fade

Summary
5,000 fans packed the Shrine in Los Angeles for the first of Slayyyter’s two sold-out shows, capping a mainstream breakthrough after she once struggled to break even on tour.
2025 single Beat Up Chanel$ and her fourth album Wor$t Girl in America reversed that slide, with the North American leg announced in March selling out within minutes and prompting venue upgrades and extra dates.
The Los Angeles set turned that momentum into proof of scale: a rock-band lineup, Missouri-themed staging and a harder live sound framed songs that drew loud singalongs, including the album’s farewell-tinged closer Brittany Murphy.
The crowd itself showed how far she has moved beyond niche hyperpop fame, with much of the 5,000 dressed in her truck-stop Americana aesthetic and roaring through a finale of Beat Up Chanel$.
