Wait, I'm confused! Are people into Troye's looks or just his music? Because his music is great but I don't understand the fawning over his aesthetic on Gay Twitter. His music is very good. He's also cute. Probably the cutest gay pop star we have. I guess I don't really see him as cute (maybe in the way that a puppy is, but def not sexually). I think "cutest gay" is what's key there. I don't think anyone would be looking if he were straight. Nick Jonas, Zayn Malik, and Justin Bieber are straight men have strong gay followings based partially on their looks. If Troye were straight, he'd just be another singer and not a gay heartthrob imo.

I think you're right. He's also young and a YouTuber so his fanbase is young (younger than both of us lol). Agreed about the puppy cute way; he's not hot. He's adorable like a precious cinnamon roll.

Or if he was not white, thin, and not so effeminate... probably anyone would be looking?

Wild Bite Fools Talk Me Down Heaven Youth
Those are my favorites (the nerve of making Bite deluxe only) but I enjoyed listening to the album as a whole and it's one of the most solid Pop albums to emerge in 2015 to me. I think the fact he's a baritone makes me love him even more; it's just refreshing to hear.

I think "Cool" and "Suburbia" would be great on radio. This album is so good most of it would be though! I hope "Youth" is to Troye what "Stitches" was to Shawn. My personal favorite is "Heaven." He poured his entire soul into that song. This is really a personal album, and not just "yeah yeah" type songs. They really dig at the gut. If he is this good at 20, I can't wait to hear what he sounds like on his next record. His writing growth of personal stuff will probably mirror the rise of Taylor Swift. I can already see him opening her next tour!

When all is said and done, he will be in the top 10 of my top 50 albums of 2015. This album is a legit masterpiece.

My first album purchase of 2016. Now I need the stars to align and put him and Betty Who on the same bill somewhere in L.A.!

Suburbia is great (because the whole album is great) but Heaven is the best thing he (or Betty Who, for that matter) has ever lent his vocals to.

Troye covered "Dancing On My Own" by Robyn in NYC last night and afterwards yelled "Now I Know where they gay men are" hahaha . I love that he's so open with his sexuality. Also Betty Who came out for Heaven and I almost died ! what a great night, I recommend seeing him live if you get the chance

Troye was interviewed by James Corden on his TV show, where he performed "Youth" and both of them made a skit. • Watch the performance of "Youth" here. • Watch the skit where James Corden crashes Troye Sivan's house party here.
Also, he covers the May issue of Out Magazine. • Look at the slideshow here.

He is so homely looking but hey, his album was my number 3 of 2015 at least. I would just rather not have to look at him.

Troye was at the GLAAD Media Awards and he won in the Outstanding Music Artist category.
And he got a picture with/kiss from Ruby Rose and Taylor Swift.
