Paris Hilton’s song “Stars Are Blind” experienced somewhat of a renaissance in recent years, and Kim Petras is as obsessed with it as the rest of us. The German singer joined forces with Hilton herself for a new cover of her fan-favorite 2000s banger.

“Stars Are Blind” was originally released as a single from Hilton’s debut studio album Paris in 2006, and it made a huge comeback in recent years. It was prominently featured in the 2020 movie Promising Young Woman, and Hilton recently performed it live alongside Miley Cyrus at Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party.

Petras recorded a solo cover of “Stars Are Blind” back in 2020, and Hilton gave her a seal of approval, saying that the cover is so beautiful that it made her cry. This duo actually goes way back, and Hilton even starred in the music video for Petras’ debut international single “I Don’t Want It All”.

“I didn’t really have a budget, so her agreeing to be in it was amazing… I had just put out a single, and ever since then she has just kind of been a little bit of a fairy godmother to me. She just really gets it and has been saying such nice things about my music and posting my music,” Patras told Variety last year.
