<h3 style="text-align: center;">Ushering In The Beloved Hot Girl Summer Vibe</h3>
<p>First up, we have to acknowledge how Megan spearheaded a whole &#8220;hot girl&#8221; movement, which built up to her proclaiming summer 2019 as Hot Girl Summer.</p>
<p>She eventually dropped an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbcLcSY2au4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eponymous anthem</a> in August 2019. However, Megan was hyping up the movement before the song was released, and she even broke it down while speaking to <a href="https://www.theroot.com/megan-thee-stallion-says-hot-girl-summer-is-gender-neut-1835842361" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Root</em></a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It’s just basically about women (and men) being unapologetically them, just having a good-a** time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a d*mn about what nobody gotta say about it.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Now, Hot Girl Summer has become an annual occurrence that&#8217;s all about embracing fun and positivity! After all, we&#8217;re &#8220;forever having a Hot Girl Summer.&#8221;</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Manifesting Her Future</h3>
<p>Years ahead of Megan&#8217;s musical success, she was already confidently proclaiming that she&#8217;d eventually make her mark on the industry.</p>
<p>A Twitter campaign from early 2022 highlighted a tweet that Megan penned way back in 2014, in which she wrote, &#8220;I need a team bc I promise rap gone take off for me.&#8221;</p>
<p>We love a queen who isn&#8217;t afraid to claim her reality and manifest her dreams!</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Killin&#8217; It On <em>Saturday Night Live</em></h3>
<p>Megan isn&#8217;t only a skilled rapper, however, which she proved while hosting <em>Saturday Night Live </em>back in October 2022. In addition to starring in numerous different skits, she also performed &#8220;Anxiety&#8221; off of her <em>Traumazine </em>album.</p>
<p>So, she got to put her acting and rap skills on display while starring on <em>SNL</em>!</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Proving Herself To Be A Major Anime Stan</h3>
<p>Serious Megan Thee Stallion fans will know that she doesn&#8217;t play about her anime, and she&#8217;s even started a whole &#8220;thread of bad b***hes that watch anime.&#8221; Baddies, unite!</p>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1103855655285415936" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>She&#8217;s specifically proven herself to be a huge fan of Shoto Todoroki, a character in <em>My Hero Academia</em>. In fact, she had a embraced a whole &#8220;Todoroki Tina&#8221; vibe back in 2019! Her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZfxnnvQLC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Hot Girl Mirko&#8221;</a> costume from Halloween 2022 deserves a shoutout, too.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Comin&#8217; Thru With The Pumpkin Head Content</h3>
<p>In addition to anime content, Megan has a humorous running gag of uploading Halloween pictures that involve her donning a jack-o&#8217;-lantern on her head.</p>
<p>The image has become a humous meme, and many fans look forward to Megan&#8217;s annual spooky season antics.</p>
