9 April 2025<\/time>\n <\/p>\nClairo does not believe in labelling her sexuality.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clairo came out as bisexual in 2018<\/p>\n
\nThe 26-year-old singer came out as bisexual in 2018, but she doesn’t like being labelled as a queer artist because “people should like who they want and no one should have a problem with it”.<\/p>\n
\nShe told Seventeen magazine: “I don\u2019t care for labels at all. I believe people should like who they want and no one should have a problem with it. <\/p>\n
\n“I\u2019ve had a better experience with my queerness once I just shut the f*** up and let it happen to me. <\/p>\n
\n“If I date a girl, I date a girl. If I date a guy, I date a guy. <\/p>\n
\n“I also understand that people benefit from drawing a hard line for themselves – having a clear path is also important. It varies [from] person to person.”<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Sexy to Someone’ hitmaker – who started posting music online at age 13, and later shot to fame after going viral with her ‘Pretty Girl’ music video in 2017 – went on to insist that she “felt so free” once she discovered her sexuality.<\/p>\n
\nClairo – whose real name is Claire Cottrill – added: “Being queer is a huge part of who I am. <\/p>\n
\n“I felt so free once I understood that I love anybody and everybody. I\u2019ll kiss anyone.”<\/p>\n
\nThe star – whose third record ‘Charm’ comes out on July 12 – wishes she could tell her younger self that there is no pressure with trying to find a label they fit into with their sexuality.<\/p>\n
\nThe NME Best New Act in the World 2020 award winner said: “We\u2019ve all taken the \u201cAm I gay?\u201d tests. <\/p>\n
\n“The coming-of-age part of it is questioning. <\/p>\n
\n“I wish I could go back and tell myself I don\u2019t need a definite answer. I can still be curious, date, and kiss who I want. I don\u2019t have to wake up and decide who I am by a certain day. <\/p>\n
\n“That was the first time in my life that I had to be okay with not having an answer.”<\/p>\n
\nClairo has described being queer as a “really beautiful” thing. She added: “It\u2019s really beautiful. It feels good to be queer.”<\/p>\n
