Troye Sivan

Thank you for the request, Harmony_In_Dark45!

1) Troye Sivan is what happens when you mix Lorde's down-under roots and alt-pop sensibility with Bieber's rabid fan-base and mainstream ambitions. It sounds crazy on paper but delightful through headphones.

2) Like most teens, Troye's got sex on the brain and a sense of humour that would make most parents blush. Unlike most teen stars, however, these aspects of his personality haven't been sandblasted away in an effort to make him seem as non-threatening as possible. He announced the release of his music video with a vlog in which he also pondered the consequences of horizontal butt-cracks.

3) All Troye did to promote TRXYE was talk about it on social media; he didn't do a press tour or give interviews. Instead, he relied on the power of his fans to propel him to the top of the charts with their GIFs, hashtags and vlogs. It ended up being a smart strategy because both "Happy Little Pill" and TRXYEdebuted at the top of the iTunes chart in dozens of countries around the globe.

4) He's openly gay. This shouldn't be a big deal, but when you can count the number of out-and-proud pop stars on one hand, it kind of is. Especially when you consider the fact that Adam Lambert, Frank Ocean and Sam Smith all waited until after they had experienced some success before to talk openly about being queer. Troye, however, came out a full year before his major-label debut.

5) Before he began his career as a pop star, Troye Sivan played a young Wolverine in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."

6) He's also a Teen Choice Award winner for his video, "The 'Boyfriend Tag,"' which features fellow YouTube sensation Tyler Oakley.

7) He absolutely hates tomatoes.

8) Troye was given a bottle of champagne for his 15th birthday by Sir Ian McKellen.

9) During a recent concert, Troye helped a teenage girl come out to her mom by handing him a note, which he read onstage. "If you're reading this, can you announced that Kelly is bisexual, please?" he told the audience.

10) His left and right thumbprints are the same, so they both work at unlocking his phone.

BONUS:

11) Troye totally owns up to all his lyrics, but said that he'd feel a little embarrassed if his parents were to actually sit down and analyze his tunes.

12) He's allergic to shellfish.

13) He might not be in Taylor's inner squad, but he's definitely friendly with the pop titan.

14) Adele once "properly cried" after Troye sent her a clip of his audience singing "Hello."
