Rebecca Black gained fame when her "Friday" music video went viral among teenagers and music lovers over a decade ago. Then 13 years old, the aspiring singer was met with negative reviews and critics.

In 2011, Black's "Friday" music video received over 1.2 million dislikes on YouTube, reportedly making it the most disliked video on the website for a while.

The internet's harsh reactions to her song impacted Black's confidence and motivation to move forward in her career. It also changed her daily life, inviting people to be mean to her.

It has been 12 years since Black's traumatizing experience, and she has since moved forward. She recently released her debut album, "Let Her Burn," which she has been dreaming about for years. She said:

"It's almost unreal to wake up and see it finally here. Seeing so many of you listening already and talking about your favorite. I don't know if I'd ever be able to articulate to my 13-year-old self just how sweet this warmth feels."

Although she has dated many kinds of people, she is still determining what the future will be. One of her recent and long relationships was with a woman with whom she remains friends.

Black later released the song "Girlfriend," where she celebrated her being queer. She began writing the music after bumping into a past lover and recalling their fond memories. Although they eventually gave their relationship a second try, it did not last.

"It's been so important to me along the way to focus on representing a queer experience that feels really true to me and that my audience could maybe also feel is true to them," Black said.

Black is in love again and dating Veronika Wyman, a recording engineer and studio coordinator. Wyman has worked under different labels in the past years, including Shelter Island Sound, Braund Studios, and Warner Music Group.

While she probably didn't have a lover to support her back then, Black said that the queer community significantly helped her during her traumatic teenage years.

The couple made public appearances several times in 2022, including Variety's 2022 Power of Young Hollywood red carpet event.

Black and Wyman were also spotted walking around Sydney, Australia, where they happily took photos with fans. The duo dressed comfortably and casually while walking with their hands intertwined.

They also do not shy away from sharing sweet images on social media. Black previously paid tribute to her girlfriend through a lovely Instagram post alongside a picture of the couple locking lips.

Rebecca Black Once Said Queer People Were the Only People Who Understood Her Experience

While she probably didn't have a lover to support her back then, Black said that the queer community significantly helped her during her traumatic teenage years. She said:

"The only people I would see fight for me or even just empathize with me were people who were queer and who really understood my experience."

Black is not the only one who identifies as queer in the entertainment industry. Over a decade ago, Michael Urie came out as queer in an interview. He received support from fans and is now happily living with his long-time partner.
