Mitski Miyawaki is one of the most popular singer-songwriters in the world, with millions of fans drawn to her heartfelt lyrics and music. Mitski is her stage name, not her full name. Lush, Retired from Sad, New Career in Business, Bury Me at Makeout Creek, Puberty 2, and Be The Cowboy is among her albums.

• Mitski’s songs prove what Victor Hugo, a French poet, once said: “Music expresses that which can not be put into words and that which cannot stay silent.”

• The indie-pop singer portrays repressed feelings, ambiguity, and introspection in her songs, and she never holds back in expressing her emotions.
• Mitski’s genuine approach to expressing her emotions makes it easy for everyone to connect with her lyrics, especially her LGBTQ fans.
• However, the same approach has drawn attention to the sexuality of the Japanese-American singer-songwriter.

Mitski’s music is well-received by the LGBTQ community. Perhaps this is why she has been accused of being gay. Mostly because she appears to have been through all of life’s trials and tribulations.

In addition, another Twitterati admitted to being a secret gay, implying that Mitski and singer Phoebe Bridgers were as well.
