Katelyn Tarver

Katelyn Tarver has never shied away from the truth — even when it hurts. On her third full-length album, Tell Me How You Really Feel (Nettwerk), the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and actress chronicles the raw process of self-reinvention after the end of her decade-long marriage, turning heartbreak into hard-won clarity. The result is an intimate collection of indie pop confessional that feel like overheard conversations — honest, unguarded, insightful, and deeply human. A Georgia native, Tarver first made waves with her viral 2017 anthem “You Don’t Know,” which has amassed over 83 million Spotify streams. Her acclaimed projects Subject to Change (2021) and Quitter (2024) cemented her as a rising voice in emotional indie pop. Praised by Billboard, NYLON, FLOOD, Atwood Magazine, and LADYGUNN as “a captivating storyteller who fearlessly dives into life’s complex questions,” Tarver continues to merge diaristic honesty with cinematic melodies. She has notably shared the stage with James Bay, Donovan Woods, and Elle King, while she marked a full-circle moment touring with Big Time Rush on the 2025 “IN REAL LIFE WORLDWIDE” tour. She will join Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, and Fortune Feimster as part of the cast for NETFLIX’s forthcoming untitled golf comedy series—expected to premiere in 2026. With Tell Me How You Really Feel, Katelyn Tarver invites listeners into her most personal chapter yet, giving listeners the courage to begin again.
