Before that big reveal, she says she wouldn’t say she was straight if people asked.
“But I also was never like, ‘Oh, I’m gay,'” she notes.
Afterward, Siwa called her girlfriend, Kylie Prew.
“And she was like, ‘It for sure is.’
And I was like, ‘Great.
Prew replied: “I was ready yesterday.”
And sure enough, “people were going bananas” over the video, Siwa recalls.
She hadn’t officially confirmed or denied anything, so Gray didn’t know what to think.
But it’s true,'” she says.
“‘I actually am in a really happy relationship with a girl and it’s my first ever.
And I love it.”

In the morning, she assured her publicist that she wouldn’t post anything else about the situation.
She told Prew she wanted to post it to her public Stories, and Prew encouraged her.
“‘I just did that… Everyone’s going to kill me,'” she remembers thinking.
“I was like, ‘But I don’t care.
It’ll be fine.’
Now, Siwa says she’s “finally the happiest that I’ve ever been.”
“The night that I came out, Iggy Azalea actually texted me.
She was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m so happy for you.
This is amazing,'” Siwa recounts.
“It was like 3 a.m. at this point.
This was before Kylie and I were on FaceTime every single night sleeping.”
She adds, “We talked for a while and I got to tell her everything.
It was really sweet.
She was there as a friend.”
In her EW cover story, Siwa talks more about coming out, as well as her upcoming projects.
Fittingly, that includes hoping to make a “gay pop” record.
Turns out a year later, I am very much so gay.”
