When Elvis Presley released his first album 55 years ago, men wanted to be like him and women wanted to be with him. But that concept has evolved. Now women want to be like Elvis, too.

In a sea of thousands of Elvis impersonators, three tribute artists stand out: Jacqueline Feilich of Australia, Laura Baxter Herbert of Massachusetts and Helen Anne Gately of Seattle.

These women -- all die-hard Elvis fans -- also moonlight as female Elvis tribute artists, or "ETAs," sporting bejeweled jumpsuits in homage to their all-time favorite singer.

When Elvis Presley Released His First Album: The Rise of Female Elvis Impersonators Elvis Presley's iconic status has transcended generations since he released his first album 55 years ago. Initially, men aspired to emulate the King of Rock 'n' Roll, while women dreamed of a romance with him. Fast forward to today, and the dynamic has shifted—women not only idolize Elvis but also seek to embody his legendary presence themselves. Among the multitude of Elvis tribute artists (ETAs) around the world, three female performers have gained notable recognition: Jacqueline Feilich from Australia, Laura Baxter Herbert from Massachusetts, and Helen Anne Gately from Seattle. These talented women are not just passionate fans; they are dedicated tribute artists who pay homage to Elvis by donning extravagant, bedazzled jumpsuits reminiscent of his own flamboyant stage attire.

The Impact of Elvis on Culture​

These female ETAs illustrate a fascinating evolution in the realm of tribute performances. While Elvis impersonation has historically been male-dominated, women like Feilich, Baxter Herbert, and Gately are breaking through barriers, proving that the King’s legacy is inclusive and can be celebrated from different perspectives. Their performances invite audiences to experience the joy and excitement of Elvis's music in a new light, blending nostalgia with modern interpretations.

Celebration of Female Empowerment​

With their captivating performances, these women not only channel the magic of Elvis but also represent empowerment and equality in a field long skewed towards male performers. Their dedication showcases how fandom can transcend gender and how cultural icons like Elvis can inspire individuals of all backgrounds to express themselves creatively.
