JoJo Siwa Reveals How She Knew She Was Gay (& It Involves Demi Lovato & Jenna Dewan!)

During her “gay awakening story,” JoJo recalled how Demi Lovato‘s 2015 hit song “Cool for the Summer” – about having a same-sex fling – impacted her at the age of 12.

“I really, really liked it and listened to it all the time,” she said.

“I did not know what it meant back then but now that I’m much older and I understand, I know what it means.”

She then talked about her second “gay awakening”: “Then a few years later, Jenna Dewan went on Lip Sync Battle. She did a really great Magic Mike number. I pretty much watched it every day. Little me, she didn’t know she was gay, until,” she continued.

“A couple years later, a man was my first date and he wanted to have sex with me and I did not want to—never wanted to, grossed out by the thought of it. Immediately knew men are not my thing. Women are my gig. Gotta go.”
