He also opened up to NPR about the songs he wrote about his romances with men and aspects of queer life.

“Of course, there’s a big element of pride in the fact that I am now so comfortably, openly gay. [He came out in 2013 in a YouTube video]. But also just musically, especially on this album, there’s so many little nostalgic references to the pop that I grew up listening to – pop stars of the early noughties – even down to the choreography and the music videos. I really am doing it for six-year-old me, who just wanted to be a pop star so badly,” he told the radio station.

In one of his latest hits, the LGBTQ+ icon is nearly unrecognisable as he gets into drag and dresses as a blonde bombshell for his “One of Your Girls” music video.

Besides music, the 28-year-old has also become a fixture on the fashion circuit. This October, Sivan made his Paris Fashion Week debut by walking on the runway for Miu Miu’s spring 2024 collection.
