This announcement comes just a year after Leyna Bloom became the first trans-identified model to feature on the cover of SI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s super exciting to have my Sports Illustrated cover and album announcement happening at the same time! Yu Tsai and the whole team at Sports Illustrated made me feel really comfortable and like I belonged there. I had the best time and, honestly, it was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/9-simple-tricks-to-help-you-get-working-out-and-stick-to-it\/\" title=\"9 Simple Tricks to Help You Get Working Out and Stick to It\">huge confidence boost<\/a>,\u201d Petras told People in an interview.<\/p>\n<h3>Joining the Ranks of Iconic Celebrities<\/h3>\n<p>Kim Petras will be joining the ranks of iconic celebrities such as Megan Fox, Martha Stewart, and Brooks Nader, who were also featured in this year\u2019s swimsuit issue. \u201cI was so excited when I got the call to be in Sports Illustrated,\u201d Petras told SI. \u201cIt\u2019s very iconic, and a lot of very iconic people have done it before, so [it was a] big dream come true for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Debut Album Announcement<\/h3>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all! Petras had another big announcement on Monday. Her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/major-lawsuit-claims-record-label-co-founder-tried-to-auction-jay-zs-first-album-reasonable-doubt-as-nft\/\" title=\"Major Lawsuit Claims Record Label Co-Founder Tried To Auction Jay-Z\u2019s First Album \u2018Reasonable Doubt\u2019 As NFT\">debut album<\/a>, \u201cFeed the Beast,\u201d will be out on June 23. \u201cI am so excited that my album is coming out,\u201d the singer and model told People. \u201cIt has been in the works for three years. I\u2019ve really sacrificed my entire life to it and have been writing these songs that mean the world to me. I feel like it\u2019s something that you\u2019ve never heard from me before!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Controversial Grammy Performance<\/h3>\n<p>Petras caused controversy earlier this year during a Grammy performance with Sam Smith, who identifies as non-binary. The duo took home the award for Best Pop Duo\/Group Performance for their hit single \u201cUnholy.\u201d But then the overtly satanic-themed and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sports-illustrated-features-transgender-model-on-cover-again-a-dream-come-true\/\" title=\"Transgender model featured on Sports Illustrated cover for second time, calls it a dream come true.\">sexualized performance earned<\/a> the pair a lot of backlash.<\/p>\n<p>Petras defended the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/french-instructor-who-performed-drag-show-before-students-pursuing-new-career\/\" title=\"French Instructor Who Performed Drag Show Before Students Pursuing New Career\">controversial performance<\/a> later, saying, \u201cI think a lot of people, honestly, have kind of labeled what I stand for and what Sam stands for as religiously not cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I personally grew up wondering about religion and wanting to be a part of it, but then slowly realizing it doesn\u2019t want me to be a part of it,\u201d the singer continued. \u201cSo it\u2019s a take on not being able to choose religion and not being able to live the way that people might want you to live, because, you know, as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/did-norway-just-criminalize-misgendering-a-trans-person-even-in-private-homes\/\" title=\"Did Norway Just Criminalize \u2018Misgendering\u2019 a Trans Person, Even in Private Homes?\">trans person<\/a>, I\u2019m kind of already not wanted in religion.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kim Petras is set to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated this year, making her the second trans-identified model to feature on the cover.<\/li>\n<li>Petras will be joining the ranks of iconic celebrities such as Megan Fox, Martha Stewart, and Brooks Nader, who were also featured in this year\u2019s swimsuit issue.<\/li>\n<li>Petras had another big announcement on Monday.
