In a discussion with LA Times, she said; “I never had that moment where I was like, ‘I’m a Disney girl. I never looked at Miley [Cyrus] or Demi [Lovato] or Selena [Gomez] or Zendaya or Bella [Thorne] or anybody — Hilary Duff or anybody that came before me — I never looked at them and thought, you and me — same.”

She added that she was “always the strange outlier who doesn’t belong and who will never fit in. I had huge imposter syndrome.”

“So I don’t really look to anybody else for a roadmap,” she continued. “I mean, this whole narrative that I was on Disney and then found my way out with a pop song, it was a total f-ing accident.”

According to Yahoo, the star’s first top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart came from Cameron’s 2022 hit, “Boyfriend,” which peaked at №16 on the chart for the week ending June 11, 2022.

“Every song of mine is a queer song because I’m a queer artist,” she told the LA Times. “Does that mean that every song is ‘I am G-A-Y?’ No. I think there’s gonna be a lot of room in my artistry to talk about things other than that I love women”
