The 22-year-old singer and YouTuber was asked in a new interview who helped her come to terms with her identity.
“Honestly, if there has been one thing to pinpoint it on – it is people like Gaga, who has always been a huge inspiration to me just generally – but over the years getting to tour and meet my fans in random places like at the mall or at a restaurant, the amount of them who have been so unbelievably forthcoming and honest with me about their own experiences, that’s what has inspired me more than anything, realising I have so much in common with these people without them even knowing – and I didn’t even know until I met them – and that has continuously inspired me,” Rebecca told Gay Times.
She also shared that she’s reclaimed her viral sensation “Friday” in a new way and has even danced to it at clubs!
“I’ve had a really weird and strange relationship with that song – as you would with anything like that – but by now it’s something I myself have reclaimed and I’ve decided to enjoy it with the people who enjoy it with me, and have some fun with it,” she said. “The amount of gay clubs I’ve been to and literally danced to that song, whether people knew I was in there or not, it’s so fun! And that, to me, represents the pureness of that song that I’ll always really enjoy.”
The 22-year-old musician and YouTuber recently revealed she identifies as queer after ending a longtime relationship with her ex-girlfriend.
“I made a conscious decision not to ‘come out.’ I guess people starting asking and I stopped not responding. I’m still in the process it feels like,” Rebecca said on the Dating Straight podcast.
When asked how she identifies, Rebecca said, “It’s something over the past few years, I’ve been having a lot of conversations with myself and my friends and my family. To me, the word queer feels really nice. I’ve dated a lot of different types of people and I don’t really know what the future holds.”
We think it’s awesome that Rebecca is sharing about this part of her life! We know she’s going to help so many people!

Rebecca Black is taken aback by all the support on her song “Friday” on it’s ninth anniversary!

Afterwards, Rebecca received an outpouring of love and support from fellow YouTubers and fans, and she took to Twitter again to share her thanks.

Rebecca Black is celebrating the nine year anniversary of her viral song “Friday“!
The 22-year-old YouTuber first uploaded the music video on February 10, 2011, and it quickly caught the attention of the entire internet.
Now, Rebecca is looking back and sharing what she would tell her younger self at different stages of her life since releasing the music video.
“9 years ago today a music video for a song called ‘friday’ was uploaded to the internet,” she began on Instagram.
“above all things, i just wish i could go back and talk to my 13 year old self who was terribly ashamed of herself and afraid of the world. to my 15 year old self who felt like she had nobody to talk to about the depression she faced. to my 17 year old self who would get to school only to get food thrown at her and her friends. to my 19 year old self who had almost every producer/songwriter tell me they’d never work with me. hell, to myself a few days ago who felt disgusting when she looked in the mirror!” she added.
“i’m trying to remind myself more and more that every day is a new opportunity to shift your reality and lift your spirit. you are not defined by any one choice or thing. time heals and nothing is finite. it’s a process that’s never too late to begin. and so, here we go! this might be a weird thing to post but the honesty feels good if nothing else. 🤍,” Rebecca concluded.
