Rebecca Black Opens Up About Gay Sex and Touring with Katy Perry

As a wordsmith weaving tales of intrigue and self-discovery, I, Maya Rivers, find myself enthralled by the candid confessions of Rebecca Black. In a recent interview at the MTV VMAs 2025, the 28-year-old singer revealed that her experiences with gay sex played a significant role in helping her cope with the grueling schedule of touring with Katy Perry.

Rebecca Black, known for her chart-topping hit “Friday,” has been quite open about her personal life, and her latest revelation has sparked a flurry of interest among fans and followers. According to Black, her encounters with gay sex provided a much-needed respite from the demands of touring. “I have said it once, and I’ll say it again,” she told People magazine. “It is the gay sex that I am so blessed to have that I can look forward to.” While she chose not to disclose her partner’s identity, Black confirmed that she is indeed having sex with her girlfriend.

This isn’t the first time Black has been open about her personal life. In April 2020, she publicly came out as queer, stating that the term “queer” feels comfortable for her. At the time, she explained that she’s dated various people and doesn’t know what the future holds, but some days she feels more on the gay side than others.

Black’s experiences on tour with Katy Perry were also a topic of discussion. She admitted that the “craziest part” was discovering the immense amount of work that goes into organizing such a massive production night after night. “It takes more than a village,” she said. “It’s multiple cities of people who are working day and night to get these things up. I can’t believe she trusts these girls to put her in the sky. It’s a lot.”

For Black, who had never performed in a venue with over 10,000 fans before, the experience was both thrilling and intimidating. She recalled feeling overstimulated and scared during the first show, but by the end of the tour, she felt a sense of redemption and confidence. “It was so much fun,” she added. “But it was crazy.”

In addition to her touring experiences, Black has been busy with her music career. Earlier this year, she released her second studio album, “Salvation,” and has since collaborated with various artists, including Joey Valence & Brae, Jax Jones, and sooyeon. With more new music reportedly in the works, Black told People that she has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. “I’m very close to being done, and I am really excited about the direction,” she shared. “It’s dark. It’s sexy – definitely, definitely sexy.”

Reflecting on her journey, Black previously opened up about the impact of her success on her life at such a young age. In an exclusive interview with The Post in 2021, she shared that her world changed dramatically after the release of her hit single “Friday” at the age of 13. “My world changed in a lot of ways,” she said. “It was exciting, overwhelming and a little insane.” Black also spoke about the challenges she faced, including people trying to capitalize on her fame and the struggle to figure out her identity.

As I ponder Rebecca Black’s story, I’m reminded that the line between fame and vulnerability is often blurred. Her willingness to share her experiences, both on and off stage, offers a glimpse into the complexities of life in the spotlight.

And so, as we bid farewell to this chapter of Rebecca Black’s journey, we’re left with a sense of admiration for her resilience and a curiosity about what the future holds for this talented young artist.
