Many of Olivia Rodrigo's fans thought that the song practically explores her sexuality, with many believing that she was or is romantically attracted to this woman. Some theories say that the subject of Olivia Rodrigo's "Lacy" is either Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, or Gracie Abrams.
While some point out the homoerotic theme of the song, some Livvies caution people to not force Rodrigo to come out and explain the song.
"to get MY opinion straight. lacy is very queer coded and i can see a sapphic storyline written from it, its so sapphic coded and i can relate my own relationship to it but its sickening that ppl are using that to assume that olivia is coming out. please learn your boundaries," a user shared.
"funny how lacy is not once mentioned as a girl but all of u think olivia is coming out," someone pointed out.
