"I thought, 'Oh, wait a minute, I like this a lot, I want to try it.' And then when I was 17, I turned to this thing."
She reveals that she first discovered her sexual orientation in adolescence, confessing it to friends, then family and finally fans and the entire public.
"I told all my friends and my older sister when I was 17," she continued. "They all knew it before I found out about my parents and then about the public. "These were my three stages: friends, parents, the public."
What many fans may not realize is that many of her love songs are actually dedicated to girls.
"There were times when I wrote songs for girls that my fans thought I was writing for boys," she explained. "I'm surprised many of them did not realize that some of the songs were for certain people. I was sharing it with the world, however I was not completely clear about what I was talking about. Music was my safe space."
