A further track with Kygo, "Broken Glass" (2020), charted at No. 13 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

In 2021, Petras signed a record deal with Dr. Luke's Amigo Records and Republic Records. That year, she became the first transgender act to perform at the MTV Video Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, and Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Her 2022 EP, Slut Pop, featured "Throat Goat", which went viral in 2023 after a sign language interpreter provided an explicit translation at Sydney WorldPride. She also featured on Sam Smith's "Unholy" in 2022, which charted at number one in twenty countries including on the Billboard Hot 100 and subsequently won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, making her the first openly transgender woman to top that chart or win a Grammy in that category.

Petras followed "Unholy" with the single "Alone" (with Nicki Minaj), which peaked at No. 55 on the chart, and preceded her debut studio album, Feed the Beast (2023), which charted at No. 44 on the Billboard 200. Her subsequent releases include the albums, Problématique (2023) and Detour (2026), as well as the EP, Slut Pop Miami (2024). Before the release of Detour, she left Republic Records following the label's refusal of its release.

Petras has also released the tracks "Unlock It" (2017, with Charli XCX) and "Reminds Me" (2020), which have been covered by Piri & Tommy and by the Kid Laroi and Juice Wrld respectively, and featured in the films The Bitch Who Stole Christmas (2021) and This Is Me... Now: A Love Story (2024), the series Bridesman (2022), the Amazon Music documentary The Lead Up (2022), and a series two episode of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World (2024).
