New York, NY (February 3, 2023) — Pop sensation Betty Who has released her brand new cover of Kate Bush’s iconic “Running Up That Hill” – listen HERE.
Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” had a renaissance last year when it was featured prominently in an episode of Netflix’s Stranger Things Volume 4, and Betty’s take on the track is a fun gift to fans.
Betty Who has also been nominated for a GLAAD Media Award in the Outstanding Music Artist category for her acclaimed album BIG! (BMG). The GLAAD Media Award is an accolade bestowed by GLAAD, the world’s largest Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, to recognize and honor various branches of the media for their outstanding representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and the issues that affect their lives.
“Making art that makes queer people feel seen and less alone is more important to me now, more than ever. The queer community I have found - the people I get to walk through this life with, holding hands, taking care of each other - is one of the greatest blessings I have ever known,” says Who. “To be a name amongst these incredible artists who have all contributed so much to the community, I mean... I'm humbled and grateful. It really is an honour just to be nominated. Thank you so much GLAAD.”
Other nominees up for the Outstanding Music Artist Award include Demi Lovato, FLETCHER, Kim Petras, Orville Peck and more. The 34th Annual GLAAD Media Awards will take place in Los Angeles on March 30, 2023. For more info click HERE

About Betty Who:
If you need to know anything about Australian-American pop trailblazer Betty Who, it’s that she is a survivor. Born Jessica Newham in Sydney, Australia, the classically trained singer, dancer, and multi instrumentalist has experienced practically every dimension of pop cultural visibility: going viral on the bombastic strength of 2014 single “Somebody Loves You,” soundtracking Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot with “All Things,” forming deep ties with foundations like GLAAD and the Trevor Project, and becoming an LGBTQ+ icon due to her infectious, always-inclusive artistry. This year alone, Betty Who released her newest album BIG! on October 14th via BMG and also made her TV hosting debuting with Prime Video’s reality dating series, The One That Got Away, which premiered June 24th.
