Fan Account Of The Week: @TroyeSivanUpdts

This week's featured fan account is entirely dedicated to the wonderful Troye Sivan!

In the last twelve months Troye Sivan has gone from being an up and coming Australian YouTuber/singer-songwriter, all the way up to beinga household name, and rightly so.

With critically acclaimed debut album 'Blue Neighbourhood'turning heads left, right and centre, it's no surprise that he already has an enormous fan base.

That's why we've decided to have @TroyeSivanUpdts as our Fan Account Of The Week. Find out what it takes to bring your Troye Sivan fandom up to a whole new level.

How long have you been a fan of Troye Sivan?

Some of the admins have been in the community since 2013 and the others have joined in the years since then.

Why are you a fan of him?

Because he’s a normal, kind, twenty-one year old from Australia who also happens to be very talented and wants to create and share quality content that means a lot to him.

How much time do you devote to running the account?

Collectively, a lot. It includes short daily spurts of time with lots of collaboration between the members of our team. The time we spend also depends on how busy Troye is and what he’s up to - we’re pretty busy while he’s touring and sometimes have to be online for many hours in a day.

Has Troye ever noticed the account? Retweeted? Liked? If so, when?

Aside from following us a few months ago, Troye has reposted a graphic of ours to Instagram, retweeted us a few times, and liked several of our tweets within the past few months.

Have you ever met Troye Sivan?

Those of us who live in the US have met Troye at least once, while our international counterparts are yet to meet him.

Have you seen him perform live? If so, how many times?

We have all seen him at least once, with the exception of an admin from Brazil. That’s entirely Troye’s fault, however, as he has yet to visit Brazil.

What’s your favourite Troye Sivan song and why?

'FOOLS' is a brilliantly produced song with great rhythm. The song is written from an outside perspective, directing the lyrics at himself and adding heartbreaking layers to a well constructed song. 'HEAVEN' is another poignant and personal song. For those who relate to the subject matter of its LGBTQ+ centred theme, the song embodies the well intentioned turmoil of questioning your sexuality while maintaining an interesting pop influence. It also definitely doesn’t hurt to have Betty Who’s vocals working in melodic tandem with Troye’s.

Do you think he is a good role model?

Troye encourages everyone to have a positive self-image, such as a healthy perception of body image and gender roles. He’s not afraid to speak out about the ills of society and maintains a great relationship with his family while keeping his Twitter kid friendly by self-censoring profanity.

Has Troye helped you get through any personal troubles?

Aside from the encouragement that comes with his openness about his sexuality, Troye has given us a community of people who love and support one another. This group of friends surrounding his music and YouTube videos have provided a fun pastime with which we can meet people from all over world and share in each other’s cultures.

What makes Troye Sivan different to other musicians?

Troye is connected to us in a way that not a lot of musicians are. Because of his background online, he knows what being a fan of music is like, and uses his experiences to connect with all of us as human beings. Aside from his ability to write well articulated and instrumentally sophisticated songs, his bigger picture view (such as his ability to transform three random songs into a poignant music video trilogy) makes his music more than just music to our ears.

Are there other Troye Sivan fan accounts you follow and recommend?

@TroyeSivanPH and @TroyeSivanBr are both awesome international accounts and friends that have supported us for a while.
