Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla

When San Antonio-born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete mounted ACL Fest’s mainstage in 2021, her middle fingers pointed skyward: “It’s a big fuck you … to all these hoe-ass men trying to tell us what the fuck to do with our bodies.” Thee Stallion led a mass twerk that only two years earlier she ghosted while on social media in a Downtown hotel as we all waited in vain at the Miller Lite stage. Of the make-good, the Chronicle raved, “Meg had hot girls and hot boys get their ‘hands on my knees shakin’ ass on my thot shit,’ as the crowd heaved and ho’d.” – Raoul Hernandez
