Front and centre at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Troye Sivan knows exactly what we want. In a sheer emerald Valentino top, the 23-year-old singer slinks and stomps and wiggles his beautiful green bean of a body across the stage. He grooves his hips the way I imagine a more coordinated person dances in front of a mirror. Sivan knows we want to scream, and dance, and watch him fling his arms out and twirl around the stage that is his and his alone. He also knows we – the horny, endorphin-filled, glitter-covered masses – want to cry.
