Elizabeth Catherine McAlpine (born September 21, 1999) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer and actress. Born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, McAlpine began gaining recognition by posting original songs and covers online on the platforms SoundCloud and YouTube.

In 2020, she released her debut studio album, Give Me a Minute, to critical acclaim. Her second album, Five Seconds Flat (2022), gave her her first appearance on both the U.S. Billboard 200 and the Billboard Hot 100, with the TikTok-viral single "Ceilings". Following her 2023 signing with RCA Records, McAlpine released her third studio album, Older, in 2024, which was supported by the lead single of the same name.

In 2025, McAlpine portrayed Nellie Collins in the Broadway premiere of Floyd Collins opposite Jeremy Jordan.

McAlpine was born on September 21, 1999, to father Mark McAlpine and mother Robin Lacey and grew up in Narberth, Pennsylvania, in the suburbs of Philadelphia with her sibling Emory. She has written music since she was in 6th grade. She attended Lower Merion High School, where she sang in a co-ed a cappella group and did theater.

McAlpine studied songwriting at Berklee College of Music in Boston, before leaving in her junior year to pursue music full-time. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020 she started the Instagram #BerkleeAtHome streaming concert series.

McAlpine's father died on March 13, 2020. Since his passing, she has vowed to dedicate track 13s to him. She wrote the song "Headstones and Land Mines" about him on her first album, dedicated the song "Chemtrails" to him on her second album, and wrote the song "March" on her third album for him. The tracks reference him as the Earth, the Air, and the Water, respectively.
