The whimsical musician, who claims to have been a popular country star in the animal kingdom until she was discovered by one \u201cWhitney Horseton\u201d, first came to mainstream attention thanks to the success of \u2018My Barn My Rules\u2019. The collab with producer MCR-T originally dropped in January 2023, but months later the track would go on to become a popular sound on the clock app \u2013 in no small part thanks to Stallion\u2019s infectiously deadpan, auto-tuned bray of \u201clong mane, big hoof, shiny coat, what&#8217;s new?\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Stallion has played a raucous Boiler Room, where she dropped Khia\u2019s raunchy \u2018My Neck, My Back (Lick It)\u2019 into the mix, threw a sold-out (antihistamine not included) Hayfever rave at London\u2019s The Cause and headed stateside to take to the booth for Art Basel Miami Beach. As well as being a popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.co.uk\/tag\/nightlife\/\">gigging DJ<\/a> \u2013 attracting twinks and sesh heads alike, thanks to her eclectic mix of &#8217;00s club off-cuts and trance-inspired beats\u00a0 \u2013 she\u2019s continued to drop surreal singles that revel in her tongue-in-cheek lore, from the boy-meets-horse premise of track \u2018F0rbiidden l0ve$tory\u2019 to the chilly vocals of Christmas track \u2018wish \u272e\u22c6\u02d9\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s suitably festive when Stallion comes into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.co.uk\/tag\/gay-times-magazine\/\">GAY TIMES<\/a> orbit for the first time, and she\u2019s busy gearing up for the release of said Xmas tune. Shooting on location in Berlin, it\u2019s hard not to feel the holiday spirit: the pavements are stacked with mounds of uncharacteristically pure, white snow as tourists clutch plastic goblets of <em>gluhwein<\/em> from the many, many Christmas markets littered across the city. The air is sharp and the cold is pinching but despite all this, and the fact the streets are more slippery than the Winter Wonderland ice rink, it hasn\u2019t stopped Stallion from strutting \u2013 or, rather, <a href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Mcr-t-and-horsegiirl-my-barn-my-rules-lyrics\">walking, trotting, loping and galloping<\/a> \u2013 onto the Neuk\u00f6lln set of her very first cover shoot, in the human world at least.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/horsegiirl-2.png\" \/><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/horsegiirl-1.png\" \/><\/p><p><em><\/em><\/p><p>When I arrive, several hours late due to a delayed flight and a struggle to find the front door, Stallion is energised. With NTS playing softly in the background, she\u2019s roaming the set in a pair of hoove-appropriate Margiela Tabis and getting ready to crack open the bottle of <em>sekt<\/em> which has been brought in alongside the lunch order. She\u2019s come a long way from \u2018Sunshine Farms\u2019 \u2013 her purported hometown \u2013 but she\u2019s in her element.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d think that being a centauress would preclude Stallion from being in front of the camera; after all, horses are notorious for startling at noises, lights, and, probably, a photographer\u2019s orders. But the style-savvy horse is in her element, modelling through a series of alter egos: from a suited-and-booted werkhorse to a Marie Antoinette-esque show pony, wearing a towering white bouffant upon her head. Afterall, the girl loves fashion, as evidenced by an off-duty wardrobe which includes MISBHV, KNWLS x Jean Paul Gaultier and AVAVAV, alongside true-thousands thrift finds.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of days later, after the scorch of the photographer\u2019s flash has dissipated from the back of our retinas, Stallion and I reunite in the well-heeled halls of Berlin Soho House. Unfortunately, the twin forces of inclement weather and horsegiirL\u2019s busy recording schedule have prevented us from pursuing the original plan \u2013 a tour of the German capital\u2019s various horse statues followed by a lap of Berghain to say hi to the city\u2019s resident pony boys. No matter, we find a secluded spot in the building\u2019s basement where I can blatantly disregard the members club\u2019s \u201cno recording\u201d rule and get into it.<\/p>\n<p>(And, okay, <em>yes<\/em>, we\u2019re going to keep up the conceit that Stallion is, in fact, a horse-human entity. Before the shoot, I was obliged to sign an NDNeigh that would prohibit me from revealing the star\u2019s real identity. As if I even knew, the mask stays <em>on<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GT-HorsegiirL-Stepniak-13-1.jpg\" \/><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GT-HorsegiirL-Stepniak-21.jpg\" \/><\/p><p><em><\/em><\/p><blockquote><p>\"If a horse can make it, anyone can\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><h3><strong>Hey Stella! Your mane looks fab, btw \u2013 but before we get sidetracked talking about fashion, what have you been working on?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ve just released my new Christmas single, \u2018wish \u272e\u22c6\u02d9\u2019!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let\u2019s talk \u2018wish \u272e\u22c6\u02d9\u2019. What made you want to release a Christmas single? I didn\u2019t know that horses celebrate Christmas.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I wrote the song because I always had such an admiration for reindeers. I think they&#8217;re kind of like the horses of the forest and they\u2019re Santa\u2019s helpers. It\u2019s an ode to reindeers and my dreams of being a good horse and being helpful to spread Santa\u2019s joy in the world. Interestingly, when you write a Christmas song, you have to write it in summer. One day, I think it was in August, I woke up and I just had this feeling like \u201ctoday is the day that I&#8217;m getting into the Christmas spirit\u201d. I went to the studio and I called up my friends from BAUGRUPPE90, who I work with a lot, and I told them; \u201cEven if you are not feeling it, and it&#8217;s 36 degrees outside, we are making a Christmas song.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>In terms of 2024, what are your plans?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>World domination. It\u2019s time for a horse to take on the role and show humanity some more of the animal spirit. I\u2019m so excited mainly about sharing new music and maybe even working on an album. It\u2019s great to just have this chance now to work with so many amazing musicians and that&#8217;s mainly what I want next year. There\u2019s also lots of touring and Hayfever dates coming up\u2026<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let\u2019s take it back a few trots. How exactly did you get into music as a young foal? I don\u2019t imagine there were many music teachers on the farm.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Nature is full of music. There was always this thing inside of me, ever since I was little, that just drew me to sound, listening to it but also creating it. From as far back as I can remember, all I was doing was humming melodies or trying to decipher a melody I heard and then pick it apart.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GT-HorsegiirL-Stepniak-03.jpg\" \/><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GT-HorsegiirL-Stepniak-23.jpg\" \/><\/p><p><em><\/em><\/p><h3><strong>Nowadays, how would you describe your sound?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I would say it\u2019s very euphoric and uplifting without\u2026 I don\u2019t know how to explain this. You know how there are these songs that are obviously meant to make you happy, like they&#8217;re just <em>s<\/em>o in-your-face positive that it&#8217;s almost annoying. It\u2019s kind of like, I don&#8217;t like this and now I&#8217;m angry. I do think my music is very happy but it doesn&#8217;t tend to make me angry. Maybe that\u2019s because it&#8217;s paired with being so fast and having quite heavy instrumentation, I like the contrast.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Horse and girl, happy and heavy, it\u2019s all about duality\u2026 So, what\u2019s the crowd like at your shows? Has it changed since you found TikTok fame?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Most of the people that come to my shows are extremely colourful. Mainly, I would say that they&#8217;re very young and there&#8217;s so much positivity. They definitely come from different subcultures: club kids, super geeky kids, there are the ones who are into fashion, the ones that have just turned 18 and are going out for the first time. There&#8217;s loads of queer kids but increasingly with the TikTok virality there are more, I would say, mainstream and straight kids. Thankfully, I haven&#8217;t noticed that it\u2019s tipped and become not a safe space anymore. I definitely think it&#8217;s a very tolerant and open space.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How do you think TikTok has impacted nightlife more broadly? Has it contributed to the boom in high BPM genres that have had a post-lockdown resurgence?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think we can attribute that just to TikTok. I think, in general, everything is faster and attention spans are shorter. That\u2019s led to genres that were already created 20 years ago becoming super popular again, because it&#8217;s not like hardcore and Frenchcore only exist now. I guess it was always this kind of subculture thing and now it\u2019s really connecting with the times. I think TikTok definitely changed some dances and the way people move in clubs. So far, I&#8217;ve only really played one particular party where it felt like, wow, okay, everyone here is probably a TikTok raver \u2013 someone that only got in contact with rave and the culture through the app, and thinks that there&#8217;s a specific way you have to dress and dance to call yourself a raver.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GT-HorsegiirL-Stepniak-10-1-scaled.jpg\" \/><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2HorsegiirlxGT-Stepniak23-1.png\" \/><\/p><p><em><\/em><\/p><blockquote><p>\"A major part of my success is that a huge amount of my fans are queer\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><h3><strong>What type of raver is horsegiirL?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s very important that I can just dance as freely as possible, that I like the music and I don&#8217;t feel self conscious. I&#8217;m definitely someone that just loves to frolic around by myself. I get super, super sweaty and normally when I&#8217;m tired, I just go home and don&#8217;t always want to go to ten afters.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Behind the decks, what do you hope to contribute to the nightlife scene?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With every set that I play and every club that I enter, I leave my ego outside and I cater to the crowd. I want to create a space where everyone feels like they can dance how they want to dance, jump around and just be who they want to be. Maybe that\u2019s my contribution to the electronic scene, to remind people that it&#8217;s not that serious. It&#8217;s really about the vibes, that\u2019s literally why we\u2019re going out \u2013 it\u2019s to connect, to dance, to have a good time and to feel alive.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What makes you feel most alive?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Carrots, sugar cubes and the smell of freshly cut grass in the summer, because we all know that&#8217;s going to turn into hay.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>I like that you&#8217;re a foodie.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Food has such a double meaning, right? It keeps us alive and makes us <em>feel<\/em> alive.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Have you noticed any copy cats, copy horses or copy humans trying to imitate your vibe?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t think you can ever imitate someone\u2019s vibe, you can <em>attempt<\/em> to imitate my vibe but don\u2019t do it! Try and find your own vibe, it has more longevity. What I have seen, which is very amazing and hilarious, was lots of farmies \u2013 my fans \u2013 dressing up as me for Halloween. So many farmies sent me pictures of them dressed as me, some with glittery headphones, like I\u2019m about to play a DJ set.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Obviously, GAY TIMES is a queer magazine. What\u2019s your relationship to your queer fans like?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I definitely think a major part of my success is that a huge amount of my fans are queer. I recently rewatched<em> Sex in the City<\/em>. Lots of it hasn\u2019t aged well but there&#8217;s this amazing thing that Samantha says; \u201cFirst come the gays, then come the girls, then comes the industry.\u201d I think a lot of gay and queer people know a bit earlier than the mainstream what will be trending.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GTxHoresgiirL-polaroid-Stepniak07.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gaytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/GTxHoresgiirL-polaroid-Stepniak06-scaled.jpg\" \/><p><em><\/em><\/p><h3><strong><em>True. <\/em><\/strong><strong>Would you say you are a horsey icon to the girls, gays and theys?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think you can claim to be an icon, if people want to see that in me, then that\u2019s very kind.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do you feel like, as a horse in the music industry, your story could inspire others?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I think I can show people to be unapologetic and not change who they are. To be a horse and to take on the human world, it\u2019s a kind of transcendence, of not being the one form you were born into and being free of what society feels like you should do. If a horse can make it, anyone can.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lastly, what exactly <em>are<\/em> your barn rules?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult because I feel like my barn rules always change depending on the situation. But\u2026 number one: farmies are kind to each other. Number two: be yourself. Number three: make up your own rules. Actually, maybe that\u2019s the only rule \u2013 make up your own rules! As long as it doesn\u2019t hurt anyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>horsegiirL\u2019s latest single \u2018<\/em><em>wish \u272e\u22c6\u02d9\u2019 is out now on all streaming platforms.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>This interview is taken from the January 2024 issue of GAY TIMES.
