Stella Lefty is the stage name of Stella Lefkofsky, an American singer-songwriter who grew up near Chicago and studied public health at Tulane University. She started posting music to TikTok in 2022, and fans followed along as she teased songs before release. Her debut single, “Kiss Me,” arrived in November 2024 after months of anticipation on the app. It went viral and launched her career with its catchy, daydreamy take on the “what ifs” of love. She leaned into country-pop from there. Her 2026 single “Boston” became a major hit, climbing to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and she followed it with the Is This Heaven? EP. In 2026 she also opened shows on Cameron Whitcomb’s Fragile Egos Tour.
