Megan Thee Stallion is more than a rapper, Broadway star and multi-brand entrepreneur: she’s a one-woman economic prognosticator.
Since 2019, people have been welcoming the warmer months as “hot girl summer,” a phrase that went viral before Megan even released the track with the iconic moniker. The summer anthem sparked an association with a carefree mindset, and an ability to live without a worry to what others might think. People on social media would document their summer travels with the caption “hot girl summer,” as one would have said they were “summering” in a bygone age.
