Rebecca Black is baring it all.
The “Friday” singer revealed how she was able to cope with the demanding schedule of touring with Katy Perry all summer.
“I have said it once, and I’ll say it again,” Black, 28, told People before heading into the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. “It is the gay sex that I am so blessed to have that I can look forward to.”

“To me the word ‘queer’ feels really nice,” she explained at the time. “I’ve dated a lot of different types of people and I just don’t really know what the future holds. Some days I feel a little more on the gay side than others.”
As for the tour, Black admitted that the “craziest part” was discovering just how much work went into organizing such a feat night after night.
“It takes more than a village,” the “Crumbs” singer said. “It’s multiple cities of people who are working day and night to get these things up. I can’t believe she trusts these girls to put her in the sky. It’s a lot.”

“I was so overstimulated the first night and so scared, and by the end it felt so, like, redeeming to be able to get on and be like, ‘This is just another show,'” she shared.
“It was so much fun,” Black added. “But it was crazy.”

Before joining Perry on the road earlier this summer, the Irvine, California, native released her second studio album, “Salvation,” in February. She has since released collaborations with the hip-hop duo Joey Valence & Brae and the electronic artists Jax Jones and Sooyeon.
More new music, meanwhile, is reportedly in the works, and Black told People that she has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

Black, who gained infamy in 2011 when, at the age of 13, she dropped the pre-teen party anthem “Friday,” previously opened up about her success and how it altered her life at such a young age.
“My world changed in a lot of ways,” she exclusively told The Post back in 2021. “It was exciting, overwhelming and a little insane.”
“A lot of people around me were trying to capitalize,” the “Let Her Burn” artist continued, “and all of a sudden, there were so many things that were brought into my life that were very adult.”
“I was trying to figure out who I was, and what I had to say at all,” she concluded. “But I needed a shift to feel like I had control.”
