Amidst harsh criticism, pop star Chappell Roan took to social media to send another shockwave through her fanbase with a coming out post.

“I mean, I think we can agree being into women is way better than hating kids,” Roan said in reference to an incident that took place in São Paulo on March 21.

In the post, Roan announced that she identifies as lesbian and apologized for keeping that identity a secret for so long. While most fans weren’t outright enraged with the “Femininomenon” singer, the confession sparked confusion among those familiar with her music.

“I never would’ve gotten that just by listening to her music,” one fan said. “She could’ve at least been a little clearer. Did no one else think the girl on ‘The Subway’ was just her friend?”

While the “Good Luck, Babe!” singer apologized for keeping this secret for so long, she also said that she didn’t do so on purpose.

“It just never came up,” Roan said. “It’s not the sort of thing I talk about all the time.”

Despite this, she did admit to hiding sapphic themes in her music over her career.

Some fans argued that it was pretty obvious, while others accused them of “listening to her music with their ears plugged.”

Online debates sparked over who Roan was implied to be singing to in tracks like “Naked in Manhattan,” in which she sings that she and the subject “both have a crush on Regina George,” the main antagonist in “Mean Girls,” or “Good Luck, Babe!,” which includes the lyrics “You can kiss a hundred boys in bars / Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling.”

However, fans were still left with questions.

“Wait,” one fan said. “That still doesn’t explain ‘The Giver.’ What job is she getting done?”
