Bella Poarch has gone from being a TikTok sensation to a true pop star. The Filipino-American artist made her global breakthrough in 2021 with ‘Build a B*tch’, a scathing pop track about beauty standards and the pressure to live up to other people’s expectations. The track was streamed over 500 million times and set the tone for her debut album ‘Picnic at the Cemetery’ (2026).The album is a coming-of-age story about growing up in the Philippines, relationships and the search for one’s true self. But anyone who knows Bella knows that it won’t be a heavy-handed confession. On the contrary: she wraps her memories in a fairy-tale world full of powerful drums, dark electronica and irresistible melodies that sound as playful as they sound spooky.
