Stella Lefty is speed-running the nepo baby arc. If you haven’t heard of Stella, you can be forgiven. The 24-year-old country singer appeared seemingly out of nowhere as a fully formed artist who dropped a Billboard top 20 hit that also landed her a national tour. Of course, “nowhere,” in this case, is actually the home of Eric Lefkofsky, Groupon founder and CEO of health technology firm Tempus AI, and that top 20 hit bears a striking resemblance to someone else’s work. Lefty’s “Boston” has racked up nearly 180 million streams on Spotify at the time of publication and has been a massive hit on TikTok. But the song was even more successful when Noah Kahan called it “Stick Season.” Lefty, or someone on her team, at least seemed aware of the similarities, seeing as they gave Kahan a songwriting credit on the official release of “Boston.” But, in an interview with Vanity Fair, Lefty is less interested in sharing the credit. “When I was writing the song, I wasn’t thinking about Noah Kahan,” Lefty told the publication. “I was literally thinking about nothing at all.” Story: AJ Dellinger Read more in our link in bio. #StellaLefty #billionaires #music
