Paris Hilton tapped singer-songwriter Kim Petras for a revival of her iconic 2000s hit, “Stars are Blind.” The new collab, “Stars Are Blind: Paris’ Version,” was released yesterday, 17 years after the single’s initial release in June 2006.
That’s hot. 💅

This “original influencer” is far from just a pretty face (and voice). At the turn of the century, the hotel heiress pioneered a new age of media that has since exploded into the lucrative worlds of reality TV and social media. Hilton starred in the hit 2003 Fox reality series The Simple Life, and has since become a successful businesswoman, DJ, media personality, socialite and mom. Hilton is an inspiration to many, especially for artists like Petras. In 2017, Hilton starred in the music video for Petras’ debut single “I Don’t Want It All.”
“She has just been such a supportive person for me,” Petras said about Hilton in 2022. “I mean, that music video that she’s in? I didn’t really have a budget, so her agreeing to be in it was amazing. I had, like, no followers, and I had no proof of concept. I had just put out a single, and ever since then she has just kind of been a little bit of a fairy godmother to me. She just really gets it and has been saying such nice things about my music and posting my music. I love her for that.”
Petras has a very impressive background too, and famously collaborated with Sam Smith on a Grammy winning song, “Unholy.” The single took home the famed award for best pop duo/group performance, which made Petras the first openly transgender artist to win a major-category Grammy. Her debut studio album “Feed the Beast” is set to release on June 23.
We’re absolutely sliving for this collab, and look forward to all the new music coming for both Hilton and Petras. Here’s to a hot girl summer!
Hear “Stars are Blind” live on June 7 at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, or stream it on any platform you listen to music.
