Some artists have already begun showing out in the first quarter of the year, dropping off singles and full-length projects to entertain audiences and show off for the competition. Megan Thee Stallion, on the other hand, has kept mostly quiet since the ending of Tory Lanez's tumultuous trial. It ultimately concluded with the Canadian being found guilty of previously shooting her in the foot. While winning against the father of one certainly felt good, the Texas-born artist has been keeping any celebrations lowkey as defence lawyers attempt to free her assailant.

As per Uproxx, the "Hot Girl Summer" hitmaker has finally announced that she's ready for a comeback. On Friday (March 10), it was revealed that she'll be taking to the stage in her hometown later this month. She'll be at the AT&T Block Party, which takes place from March 31st through April 2nd in Houston's Discovery Green park. It's scheduled to unfold at the same time as the Men's Final Four weekend.

In a statement, Thee Stallion expressed her excitement over booking shows once again. "There’s no place I’d rather be for my first performance of the year than my hometown of Houston," she gushed. "The AT&T Block Party Concert is gonna be such a vibe. I can’t wait to get back on stage in the city where it all began. I’m looking forward to seeing my Hotties and putting on an unforgettable show for them."

Other names on the setlist include Lil Nas X, Maggie Rogers, and Mickey Guyton. Those acts are due to perform after Megan's show, on the second and third days. It's been noted that the 28-year-old's last performance in her hometown dates back to 2019's Astroworld Festival. This took place shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic shut most of the world down. The Houston hotties are surely grateful for their coach's long-awaited return to the stage in the Lone Star state.

Future Endeavours for Thee Stallion

News of her return to the stage certainly has the internet buzzing, but it's got nothing on the intrigue surrounding Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B's reported B.A.P.S remake. Director Robert Townsend confirmed earlier this month that the "WAP" collaborators are among those who have asked to be cast in the project. Of course, nothing is official just yet, but many would love to see the two rap divas further their acting skills alongside each other.
