Troye Sivan recently addressed a blind item claiming that he is using his tour with Charli XCX to hook up on Grindr, which he labeled as 'genuinely homophobic'. In a TikTok response, Sivan emphasized that the 22-show Sweat Tour, which is nearly sold out, is about promoting his new album and not for casual encounters. He expressed frustration over stereotypes and called for respect against 'sex-shaming', insisting that he can find intimacy anywhere, including LA. Sivan further criticized the use of terms like 'twink' by straight individuals, stating that it can be derogatory when misused. The tour, featuring tracks from both artists' recent albums, kicked off in Detroit and will continue through October. Fans and community members have largely supported Sivan's outspoken defense against the accusations.
