Kylie Jenner’s 'King Kylie' era is officially back, and this time, it comes with a soundtrack. To mark the release of her debut single 'Fourth Strike,' Kylie stepped out in Los Angeles with her closest circle of friends, revisiting iconic spots from the early 2010s that defined her rise.
Among the stops were Urth Caffe, a longtime fan-favorite and a core location from her Tumblr-era days. While sipping coffee, the moment turned emotional for Kylie, who teared up as she took in the nostalgia.

The celebration came just one day after the 28-year-old reality star turned beauty mogul dropped her first-ever music collaboration, lending vocals to Terror Jr’s new single.

“I was soooooo nervous but so grateful,” Kylie wrote on Instagram, sharing a behind-the-scenes look at her time in the studio. “There was a little rumor 10 years ago that I was the one actually singing on 3 strikes! It wasn’t me (wish it was) so I had the idea to come together for Fourth Strike and it would actually be ME FEATURED!”
