Grindr in a string of North American cities and enjoy hook-ups.Sivan and British singer Charli XCX are currently engaged in their joint headline ‘Sweat’ tour. Both have albums to promote. The two friends have collaborated before, on the track “1999,” so share some stage time together during “Sweat.”The video Sivan was reacting to was posted by a celebrity gossip blogger called Celebritea Blinds.

I don’t think straight people should be using that.”Celebritea Blinds appears to have now deleted her original video. Queerty has reached out to her for comment. Among those to comment on Sivan’s video was the official Grindr TikTok account.
