Grammy Winner Petras Parties Hard, Films Gritty "Freak It" Video in Paris

In November 2025, Grammy-winning pop star Kim Petras released a new music video for her single "Freak It." The video, which Petras self-funded, was filmed during an impromptu night of clubbing in Paris.

Petras had initially released the track in July 2025, but her friend and creative director-makeup artist Loftjet convinced her to shoot a video while she was in Paris for Fashion Week. The video, which includes fan-captured footage, was filmed at Les Bains club, where Petras and her friends "really partied" and had an "insane" and "freaky" night.
