In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), she wrote, “I’ve always believed that a woman’s love is one of the most powerful things in this world. While I’ve been open about my sexuality throughout my career, I’ve recently realized that my feelings extend beyond someone’s gender or preferences.”
“In my debut mini album, Sweet Nothings (Chapter 1), there’s a song called ‘Sugar N’ Spice’ that personally stands out in terms of the way it was made. It’s a light, positive, and love-filled track, and interestingly, it’s the only one in the album celebrating a woman’s love. This song reflects my belief that love is love, and everyone should be free to love whomever they choose. This message isn’t just for the queer community; it’s for everyone who believes in love, no matter its form.”
“I want to share the beautiful experience of falling for a woman, something I treasure so deeply. I’ve never been so excited for a music video to come out, and I hope you celebrate love with me in all its beautiful forms.”
