In 2011, Rebecca Black’s viral hit “Friday” reached more than 150 million people worldwide and became the fastest-growing song and video that year; but it was not until 2021 that Rebecca Black solidified her stamp on pop culture. With a new RIAA Gold certification under her belt, “Rebecca Black is having a major moment, right now,” PAPER declared and NYLON cosigned "Rebecca Black has been on a roll lately.”
One year after coming-out on the ‘Dating Straight’ podcast, Rebecca Black performed on the GLAAD Media Awards with a “best musical moment” highlight from Billboard, who also named the track “bubbly...fun... and... the exact kind of pick-me-up that so many of us are looking for.” She also proudly received the honor of Variety’s ‘Power of Pride’ 2021 list, Logo30, Bustle’s Pride Yearbook & more. In her leisure, Rebecca advocates for anti-bullying, mental health initiatives and the LGBTQ+ community, across recent partnerships with the AdCouncil, GLAAD, and Best Buddies.
