It wasn’t that long ago that Kim Petras was spending some quality time in Chicago. During the holiday season last year, the German-born pop star was taking in the familiar sights of the Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza while holing up on the North Side with her friend, local musician Alex Chapman, as she tried to mend a broken heart. 

“I went through a traumatic breakup last year and he and his family took me in when I needed it,” Petras recalls, nodding at how far she’s come. While a breakup brought her to Chicago then, a breakthrough year brings her back now as Petras stops at Aragon Oct. 18 on her Feed The Beast World Tour after a series of incredible moments that have made her heart full again.
