CAPRICE LE MARAIS

Now 55 and still accelerating, Caprice began her music career at 53 and immediately refused the usual rules: no reinvention arc, no apology tour, no graceful aging narrative. A self-proclaimed Queen of Pop, she’s gone viral for openly claiming she’s better than Taylor Swift and Madonna — statements that sparked TikTok outrage, memes, think-pieces, and, unintentionally, a cult following. Glitter-heavy, confrontational, and self-aware, Caprice’s songs flirt with camp but land with conviction. She first broke through with “PARIS GIRLS,” a polarizing hit that racked up thousands streams and side-eyes alike, followed by fan favorites like “ÉgarÉe,” “Splendid (Shot O’ Clock),” “BAD GIRL,” and the controversial yet beloved “AMERICA, DO U HEAR ME?” Once a full-time plumber, now an underground pop fixture, Caprice thrives on friction. Critics call her chaotic, delusional, or “too online.” Her fans call her inevitable. Either way — she’s still here. And she’s not logging off. 55 is out now. An homage to all of the narcissists in her life.
