Kylie Jenner has long harbored dreams of becoming a pop star, a desire she claims to have had “since she came out of the womb.” The reality TV star recently dipped her toes into the music industry by collaborating with Los Angeles duo Terror Jr. on the track “Fourth Strike,” marking her first foray into the world of music. Known for her successful cosmetics brand, Kylie Cosmetics, Jenner revealed her aspirations in a Q&A video shared on YouTube on Thursday, October 16.

In the video, Jenner candidly expressed her lifelong ambition, stating, “I’ve been talking about this since I came out of the womb. I, like, wanted to be a pop star — or, I don’t know what I am. But I just, like, never had the confidence.” The 28-year-old entrepreneur acknowledged that age played a role in her decision to explore a new career path, sharing, “I think turning 28 just does something to you. I’m gonna be 30 soon, and I just don’t want to look back on life and have any regrets, and this is something I’ve always wanted to try.”
Despite her excitement for this new venture, Jenner humbly acknowledged her limitations, quipping, “I don’t think I’m like Adele or anything.” She recounted her initial nervousness during the first recording session, admitting to self-medicating with a few margaritas to calm her nerves. Working with Terror Jr., Jenner spent hours in an RV studio in her driveway, fine-tuning the song before moving to a professional studio for a more polished recording.
Reflecting on the experience, Jenner expressed her enjoyment and comfort working with her collaborators. She confessed, “I was really nervous, but after, I think, I heard the first line, I was like, ‘Wow, I sound like an angel.'” Buoyed by the positive experience, Jenner teased the possibility of releasing more music in the future, hinting at the potential for an entire album. The release of “Fourth Strike” not only marks Jenner’s musical debut but also signals the return of her “King Kylie” persona, coinciding with a new makeup collection under her Kylie Cosmetics brand set to launch on October 18.
While Jenner’s music career is just beginning, fans can expect her to continue exploring her passion for music alongside her thriving beauty empire. With her indomitable spirit and willingness to take risks, Kylie Jenner is poised to make waves not just in the world of cosmetics but in the music industry as well.
