In this case "out there" means generically "elsewhere in the world", i.e. "out there in the world". It's generic, non-specific.
If you removed "out", she would have to be talking about a specific group of girls.
"There are girls who look better than me out there" > "There are girls who look better than me (in general)"
"There are girls who look better than me there" > "There are girls who look better than me (at that location)"
