Editor's Take:
girl in red started making music alone in her bedroom in Norway. Her lo-fi songs about loving girls spread quickly online. Young queer listeners embraced her as one of their own. Her debut album mixed raw emotion with big guitar hooks. It dealt openly with anxiety and depression. She went on to tour arenas and festivals. She opened for Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour. Her songs remain a soundtrack for coming-of-age stories.
