Stella Lefty is currently sitting in the top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100 with "Boston," the interpolated Noah Kahan-adjacent hit that's racked up over 80 million Spotify streams and turned her into one of 2026's biggest breakout artists. So when she showed up at Barstool's New York office, the building noticed.
Tommy Smokes pulled up his own music on his phone to play for Stella Lefty, the two of them cracking up as they listened together.
That's the kind of visit this was — less press stop, more hangout. Tommy Smokes, who dabbles in music himself, wasted no time playing her some of his own stuff, and by the reaction in the room it landed. Musician meets musician, phone speaker and all.
Bri got her moment too, meeting Stella Lefty on what was described as a full tour of the NYC office.

Meek Phil wasn't about to let her leave without proof he was in the building. He got his picture in before she was out the door — the kind of fan moment that happens even when you technically work there.
Meek Phil posed for a photo with Stella Lefty before she left the office, then grabbed a solo shot in front of a drum kit.
By the end of the day the whole thing had a nickname. Staff started calling themselves the "Stella Fellas," with Gaz declaring it a big day at HQ for all of them. Dave Portnoy even weighed in with a photo, joking that Stella Lefty's look at Tommy Smokes was relationship goals.
None of it is breaking news, but that's kind of the point — a chart-topping artist wandering the halls, trading music with Tommy Smokes and posing for pics, is exactly the kind of low-stakes, high-charisma content Barstool's office tours run on. Given where "Boston" is sitting on the charts right now, don't be shocked if this isn't the last time she's through the building.
