Olivia Rodrigo’s “Lacy” Has Stan Twitter Buzzing— Here Are 21 Tweets That Dive Into Why
Olivia Rodrigo’s much-anticipated sophomore album Guts definitely did NOT disappoint — in terms of music and fan discourse. Fans are especially activated by the fourth track on the album “Lacy” because well… they think the lyrics are pretty gay!
As a WLW, I love when girls sing about girls (don’t get me started on Taylor Swift). So I was curious about what the internet had to say…

“Lacy is just about jealousy” well clearly you haven’t had a homoerotic love hate obsessive one sided relationship with a girl and it shows pic.twitter.com/8cQ4JKcG21

lacy perfectly encapsulates the feeling of finding out you don’t actually feel jealous of a girl, you’ve unexpectedly fallen in love with the girl you swore you wanted to be.

if you have a problem with queer interpretation of songs, then you’re homophobic or have internalized homophobia. 🥰 i understand why more in-depth theories can be seen as invasive and invalidating but if you’re getting mad at people saying “lacy is a gay song” there’s a problem

no but the fact that SO many people are quick to explain away lacy as a “jealous girl anthem” or “from a man’s perspective” just shows how little sapphic representation is in people’s lives and how quickly they dismiss sapphics in this misogynistic heteronormative society ugh

“aren’t you the sweetest thing on this side of hell” is SO queercoded & the fact that she still calls lacy an “angel” & “made of angel dust” means that no matter what other people think or if they’re damned to hell she still thinks lacy is heaven sent ‘cause she’s perfect for her

trying to de-gay lacy is so stupid bc regardless of sexuality everyone experieces a homoerotic friendship at 19 idc it’s a universal experience

To be fair, there are some other theories out there that have garnered some attention as well…

I feel like I haven’t seen anyone talk about the fact that angel dust is another name for PCP so it’s like she’s saying Lacy is made of a drug that makes her hallucinate or distorts her perception
