Angel Olsen took to Instagram on Friday to announce she is gay and posted a photo of her partner on the site.
The post featured several photos of her partner, including their loafers and tattoos. Olsen also posted a photo of herself on her Instagram story, writing, “I’m gay !!!!!”
Olsen recently announced the box set Song of the lark and other distant memories, which includes 2019’s All mirrors, 2020’s Whole new mess, and Far Memory, a new LP with bonus tracks. It includes b-sides, remixes, outtakes, a 40-page booklet and a cover of Roxy Music’s “More Than This.” “It feels like part of my writing has come back from the past, and another part of it was waiting to exist,” she said.
Olsen recently honored Candi Stanton Rolling stone‘s annual Women Shaping the Future issue. “A lot of people try to get me into other singers,” she said, “but there’s something about her singing – maybe it’s just that I can relate to it.”
