The summer of 2019 had a sound, a meme, a hashtag and an entire mood set by a then 24-year-old rapper from Houston named Megan Thee Stallion. #HotGirlSummer started out as a tweet that morphed into a meme that became a chart-topping track featuring Nicki Minaj that catapulted the artist into a national spotlight, with legions of fans she has nicknamed her "Hotties." The genius of "Hot Girl Summer" is that it was much more than a song — it was a feeling, propagated by social media, particularly Instagram and TikTok, of freedom and abandon that could contain everything from a performance of Megan twerking while wearing a particularly bright pair of lime green chaps to a photograph of Tom Hanks smiling beatifically while wearing a white dress shirt tied in a knot.

Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, has been making music and music videos since high school, steadily building a following by releasing songs and freestyling on local radio shows. In 2016, she appeared against a city skyline in a compilation video of local Texas rappers, distinguishing herself with her cool demeanor and laser-precision flow. She later refined her style in a sun-drenched YouTube video called "Stalli Freestyle," which collected millions of views, and her EP "Tina Snow." Her first album, "Fever," followed last year and her latest, "Suga," began streaming this month.

I caught up with her on a cold night in February, fresh off a performance on "The Tonight Show, Starring Jimmy Fallon," at the 21 Club, a midtown Manhattan restaurant. Megan, a health-administration student at Texas Southern University, arrived in sweatpants and a Dragon Ball Z T-shirt, along with 4oe, her gunmetal gray French bulldog puppy, to talk about the aftermath of going viral, the sanctuary of alter egos and what she hopes to do by the time she turns 40.
