Reneé Rapp has opened up about her identity, revealing that labelling herself publicly as a lesbian for the first time felt “euphoric. 

The “Tummy Hurts” singer appeared on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast on Wednesday (28 May), where she shared her thoughts about her identity.

Of course, the Mean Girls actress came out as a lesbian whilst appearing as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live last year, after previously identifying publicly as bisexual. 

The star recalled her SNL bit alongside Wicked’s Bowen Yang and Saltburn’s Jacob Elordi, in which she was introduced as the “little lesbian intern”. However, she was initially going to be introduced as “a little bisexual intern”.

“At that time, I was very publicly bisexual, I had been for a very long time,” she said on the podcast. “In private, I was talking with my girlfriend and a lot of my friends for the last maybe eight months before that, of being like, ‘I actually don’t really feel very bi at the moment, I feel very much like a lesbian.’

“It feels so nice, and that word feels amazing, and it feels very euphoric for me,” Rapp continued. “I was like, ‘Do you think we could just change it to gay?’
