VIDEO: INTERVIEW – Catie Turner Says American Idol Experience Toughened Her Up And Motivated Her To Pursue Music Career

Singer-songwriter Catie Turner recently released her latest song in “Step Mom” which was accompanied by a humorous video about the ultimate revenge on an ex. The video features fellow artist Miki Ratsula, playing both the role of Catie’s ex and his dad, sporting a variety of comical costumes and wigs, including a silver fox mustache. “The Step Mom video was so much fun to make,” Turner said. “Huge thanks to Miki Ratsula for donning the mustache to make my twisted, dad-stealing psycho fantasy a reality.” The Langhorne, PA native has continued to establish a firm foundation of catchy tunes after her breakthrough hit single, “God Must Hate Me,” proved a viral phenomenon upon its November 2021 release and garnered over 52.9M global streams. Turner has been familiar with the spotlight after her stint competing on and placing 7th on American Idol in 2018. The experience and exposure led her to a recording deal with Atlantic Records and early critical acclaim for her music, including anthems such as “Prom Queen” and “i luv him.” Turner just wrapped up a tour with the likes of Valley and LEON.

Turner spoke with B-Sides host about how performing on American Idol and going viral on TikTok has given her further affirmation and strength to pursue a career in music, talks about dating, giving advice and more.
