Troye Sivan says he’s “more in touch” with his femininity after winning Man of the Year
Pop superstar Troye Sivan has opened up about feeling more connected to his femininity. This year, the beloved talent has been booked, busy and showered with praise due his work in HBO’s The Idol and the release of his hit singles ‘Rush’ and ‘Got Me Started.’ In addition to the aforementioned achievements, Sivan also dropped his third studio album, Something To Give Each Other, in October – which received universal acclaim for its unapologetic queer lyrical content, outstanding pop production and the singer’s vocals.
The album also secured the number-one spot on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) album charts – making it Sivan’s first project to do so.
With 2023 coming to a close and Sivan showing no signs of slowing down his upward trajectory, GQ Australia announced the ‘Bloom’ singer as its Man of the Year.
While accepting the award, Sivan reflected on his monumental year and how he developed a deeper connection with his femininity. “It’s not lost on me the irony of me winning man of the year when I did drag for the first time this year,” he said at the start of his speech. “I feel more in touch with my feminity than ever, and I think it speaks to a point I’d really like to make, which is that my relationship with masculinity has been very strange my entire life.” Sivan went on to say that growing up, he lived in a “grey area” where he wasn’t fully embraced by the girls or got along with any of the boys.
