She later confirmed it in a post wearing a shirt with the binding words, "Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever."

In 2023, the star took to Instagram to post the same picture commemorating the anniversary of her big moment.

[{"selector":"#anim-a05aea3c-2a5a-4601-80db-e7c59606c0c0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6123f26d-3935-483a-afef-63d7436bd8a8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.66561%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e1ae74c0-142a-47d9-a800-e105c8a5772e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

She stated how proud she was of herself for taking the huge step at 17 despite not knowing how it would be received.

[{"selector":"#anim-ebcbfee7-05a9-4f41-9d8f-162c726abb5e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-824f641c-fb37-46a3-bb8a-b7d5d89512d2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11bf90a5-f9d4-4a98-8758-c6af91d63126","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Most of her fans celebrated with her, while others left pretty harsh comments under the post.

[{"selector":"#anim-772eafb1-86b8-4d1a-8d52-ff4fc07c863b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-05967948-94e0-42b3-b80a-21eb2c4c9d3c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-284d0f61-2aab-4a18-ae77-e634ce7930a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The dance also debuted another significant change, her abs which she had gotten taut and ripped by spending hours in the gym.

She disclosed that the results of her new and improved body came after a year of putting the work in.

The singer expressed outrage in a video rant over the fact that she felt used by her ex-girlfriend Avery Cyrus.

The pair began dating in August of 2022 and broke it off seemingly through mutual understanding in December of the same year.
