When speaking to i-D in July, Karter revealed what she liked most about Styles.
“What I love about him from a professional standpoint is that he was the poppiest of popstars, and then he went off on his own and made a classic rock album,” she said.
The 24-year-old singer continued: “For someone like me who wants to live in that world who hasn’t been in a boy band, he has opened the door for me. He’s introduced the kids to the kind of music I want to make. For that, I’m really grateful.”
She said she also just wants “his career.” “I feel like I’m a female version. I actually moved to America to act, and music became my main thing. Rock ‘n’ roll is my passion. I really want to work with him. Let’s work, Harry. Where you at? Mark my words: I’m getting a song on his album,” she said.
As of this writing, Styles has not publicly addressed the tattoo.
