The pop world is finally catching up to Heidi Montag.

This past weekend, Heidi made her long-overdue New York City debut at the iconic Webster Hall, and it wasn’t just a concert. It was a reclamation. A celebration. A moment of long-deserved recognition for a woman who’s been giving us futuristic, high-gloss, synth-pop brilliance for over a decade.

Before she even hit the stage at Webster, Heidi popped up at The Box for a surprise Pride performance in collaboration with Sephora. Looking like a Barbie-core dream, she tore through “Superficial,” “Top,” “Animal,” and “I’ll Do It, four bangers that had the crowd begging for more.

Then came the main event.

Dressed in a sizzling hot pink cheetah-print jumpsuit and heels only a true diva could handle, Heidi turned Webster Hall into her personal pop playground. Her setlist? Pure gold: “Fashion,” “I’ll Do It,” “Superficial,” “Tetris,” “Go Harder,” “Top,” and “Prototype.” Back-to-back-to-back bops — no filler, no skips, just iconic after iconic.

It wasn’t just a performance, it was vindication.

Heidi has always been ahead of her time. Superficial was mocked in its era but is now revered by pop nerds, club kids, and Gen Z queers alike for what it truly is: glitchy, glittery perfection. And now, in 2025, we’re finally living in her world.

And in true superstar fashion, Heidi was back on a plane less than 24 hours later, flying cross-country to headline a sold-out Pride festival in San Francisco. The hustle? Immaculate. The vocals? Live. The moment? Eternal.

Heidi Montag is no longer just reality TV royalty. She’s a pop star. A cult icon. A queer fave. A performer. And the world is finally watching.
