In January 2025, Colyar's New York magazine cover story "The Cruel Kids' Table" about young conservative Americans and Colyar's experiences at a 2024 President Donald Trump re-election party resulted in a conservative backlash from Trump influencer and conservative activist CJ Pearson, who threatened to sue New York magazine because of the story.[23][24] New York defended the article, saying, “We believe both the cover and story provide an accurate impression of the weekend.”[25]

Colyar's May 2025 New York magazine cover story "It Must Be Nice to Be a West Village Girl" about young women in the West Village neighborhood of New York City inspired an independent short film by Julia DiCesar.[26][27]
