10 Famous Lesbian Singers Who Turned Heartbreak into Art 🎤🌈


Being seen—and heard—matters. Music has always been a safe space for queer people to feel, heal, and get free. And when lesbian artists sing their truth? It hits different.

Whether you’re crying in bed, dancing alone, or falling in love all over again, these iconic lesbian (and sapphic) singers have put words to our deepest feelings—and built visibility while doing it.

Here are 10 famous lesbian singers who’ve inspired millions, one lyric at a time:


🎶 1. Melissa Etheridge

One of the OGs—she came out in the 90s and never looked back. Her raspy voice and powerful lyrics made her a rock icon and a queer trailblazer.

Listen to: Come to My Window, I’m the Only One


🎤 2. Hayley Kiyoko (aka “Lesbian Jesus”)

She made queer love the main plot, not the subplot. Her music videos openly feature WLW love stories, and her fans adore her honesty and softness.

Listen to: Girls Like Girls, What I Need


💔 3. Kehlani

Openly queer and fiercely fluid, Kehlani brings a raw, emotional edge to R&B. Her journey through heartbreak and healing speaks to so many.

Listen to: Honey, Melt, Nights Like This


🌈 4. Brandi Carlile

A Grammy-winning folk-rock queen with lyrics that cut deep and heal slow. Brandi writes about motherhood, love, and being unapologetically queer.

Listen to: The Joke, The Story


🔥 5. King Princess

Sexy, messy, and very sapphic. She doesn’t hold back—and her songs reflect everything from casual flings to real vulnerability.

Listen to: 1950, Talia


🎧 6. Syd (from The Internet)

Syd brings a chill, smooth vibe to queer R&B. Her lyrics are intimate and lowkey—perfect for slow dancing with someone you trust.

Listen to: Body, Right Track


👑 7. Tegan and Sara

These Canadian twins basically raised a whole generation of queer girls in the 2000s. Their indie-pop sound was everywhere and unapologetically gay.

Listen to: Closer, Back in Your Head


💃 8. Arlo Parks

Soft, poetic, and thoughtful. Arlo’s lyrics read like diary entries, and she sings about queer love with such tenderness.

Listen to: Eugene, Black Dog


💥 9. LP (Laura Pergolizzi)

Power vocals + dramatic energy = queer anthems for the soul. LP blends rock, pop, and soul with a genderfluid vibe.

Listen to: Lost On You, When We’re High


💋 10. Girl in Red

If you’ve heard “Do you listen to girl in red?”—you know. Her music screams teenage queer angst in the best way.

Listen to: We Fell in Love in October, I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend


💌 Final Thoughts

These singers aren’t just making music—they’re building queer culture. They’ve helped thousands feel seen, soft, and strong at the same time. And they remind us that being a lesbian isn’t a limitation—it’s a whole soundtrack.

How to Surprise Your Girlfriend with a Vacation

  Whether you've been dating for 3 months or 3 years, there’s nothing more swoon-worthy than surprising your girlfriend with a getaway. A vacation says: "I know you. I love you. Let’s run away for a little while." But planning the perfect surprise trip without her finding out? That takes some skill—and a whole lot of gay magic. Don’t worry babe, I got you. Here’s your step-by-step guide to surprising your girl with a vacation she’ll never forget:  Step 1: Know Her Vibe Before booking anything, ask yourself: Is she more cozy cabin in the mountains or sunset cocktails on the beach ?

Pro tip: Drop subtle questions weeks before like: “If we could teleport anywhere right now, where would you go?”  Step 2: Pick a Place That Screams Us It doesn’t have to be Paris (but yes, please). Even a weekend road trip to a queer-friendl...

🌈 Billie Eilish Came Out, Kinda. And Honestly? We Felt That.

  Billie Eilish came out—and like everything Billie does, she did it her way . In a world that demands loud declarations and clickbait confessions, Billie just… casually confirmed she’s attracted to women in a Variety interview. No rainbow flags, no long notes app post, no performance. Just vibes. And honestly? That kind of soft, subtle coming out is deeply queer in its own way. 🗞️ What Actually Happened? In late 2023, Billie did a cover story for Variety . When asked about her relationship with women, she said: "I’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m really attracted to them." Cue the headlines. Cue the internet spiraling. At a later event, someone asked her if she meant to “come out.” Her response? "Wasn’t it obvious?" "I just didn’t believe people didn’t know." 🖤 Why This Matters (Even If It Was Casual) For Billie, it wasn’t som...
