After Her "Unhinged" And "Unfiltered" Interviews Left People Talking About Her Apparent "Lack Of Media Training," Reneé Rapp Addressed The Comments In An Interview
If there's anything we know about Reneé Rapp, it's that she's going to speak her mind loudly and unapologetically. Whether she's standing up for politics, calling out problematic men, or gushing over Megan Thee Stallion's "incredible" ass, you can always count on her to tell it like it is — no matter who's watching. Related: Her "unhinged" and "unfiltered" interview behavior first went viral last year on the Mean Girls press tour, receiving praise from fans and jokes about her apparent "lack of media training." But while fans might enjoy her carefree responses, it seems like Reneé herself isn't exactly a fan of the discourse. She recently told the Guardian, "It's very weird, honestly, to be perceived that way, because I don't really think about it." Related: "I never thought about how people would dissect even the way you speak," she continued. "Like, wait, what would a normal response be? A fluffy, nonsense answer? To me, that would make me crazy." She added, "If I was a journalist, that would drive me fucking up the wall! Because I would be like, 'Hang on, we're not even like having a conversation.' That would make me insane." Related: She went on to credit her parents for giving her the confidence to share her opinions so freely. She said, "I have phenomenal parents. They were just always like: 'Be accountable to yourself, to your friends, to people you don't know.'" Another lesson she said she learned is "there's no shame in being wrong, necessarily," as long as you can "look in the mirror" and be okay. Elsewhere in the interview, Reneé reflected on other viral moments, including the reaction to her May song "Leave Me Alone," where she was accused of dissing The Sex Lives of College Girls with the line, "I took my sex life with me, now the show ain't fuckin'!" As fans know, Reneé left the show in 2023 ahead of the third season, and since then, she's signaled she didn't exactly have the greatest time on the show. Related: When asked why she left the series in a June interview with Ziwe, Reneé tellingly responded, "I had such a good experience." "I wish I could go back," she added. "Really?" Ziwe asked, to which Reneé replied, "Nope!" The Guardian asked her about the reaction to the song in the interview, and Reneé replied with what the outlet described as a "Cheshire cat grin." "It's like Beyoncé said," she shared. "'You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation.'" Read the full interview here.

Reneé Rapp drags her own girlfriend in an explosive breakup anthem titled 'Why Is She Still Here?'
If you thought Reneé Rapp was done airing her emotional laundry in public, think again. The sapphic superstar just served fans a hot new dish of chaos and heartbreak with her third single 'Why Is She Still Here?' from her upcoming album Bite Me, and it is basically the sonic equivalent of slamming the bedroom door in tears while still wearing last night's eyeliner. Reneé Rapp is not holding back this era This time, the claws are not just out, they are painted red and pointed directly at her own girlfriend. The track dives deep into the emotional wreckage of dating someone who seems to still have their ex lingering like a ghost, or, worse, a roommate. Listen to the new song here: There is always that ex, isn't there? Rapp spirals through the song with a burning question: why is her girlfriend's ex still in the picture? Whether it is towels that smell like old memories or sticky notes with unspoken drama, Rapp paints a haunting image of being third-wheeled in her own relationship. According to the lyrics, Reneé seems more pissed at her partner than the actual ex. A source close to the lyrics says Reneé points out that while her partner insists the ex means nothing, maybe she should say that to the ex too, because the constant presence is not going unnoticed. Reneé Rapp flips the switch On the second verse, Reneé flips the switch from sad to savage. She reminds her lover about that time she was introduced as just a friend, a moment that left her jaw clenched. The lyricist clearly warns: do not pull that trick again unless you are ready to end up in a song. One particularly lethal moment? When she reflects that the relationship did not feel very 'friendly' when things were happening on the kitchen floor or in the back of her tour bus. It is spicy, sultry, and soaked in resentment. Oh, and she is also low-key dragging herself for lowering her standards. Clocking in at just over two-and-a-half minutes, 'Why Is She Still Here?' might be short, but it is bursting with high-stakes drama and that signature Rapp vocal rage. From smoky R&B verses to a bass-heavy chorus, Reneé is giving 'haunted lesbian heartbreak' in all its fiery glory. Fans react to Reneé Rapp's move Fans have been side-eyeing the situation ever since Reneé hard-launched her relationship with fellow musician Towa Bird at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in March 2024. The two met when Bird opened for Rapp on her 2023 Snow Hard Feelings tour, and the vibes? Instant. But with this song now added to her emotional arsenal, following previous singles Leave Me Alone and Mad, Reneé is making it clear: Bite Me (dropping 1 August) is not here to play cute. It is here to burn bridges and take names.

Reneé Rapp's 'Mad' Lyrics Release the Frustration of Fighting With Your Significant Other
Reneé Rapp is on a roll. She not only dropped 'Leave Me Alone' last month but also performed at the American Music Awards, graced the cover of Cosmopolitan, and announced her first headlining arena tour. As her sophomore album, Bite Me, is set to hit streaming services on August 1, the powerhouse vocalist is giving us another taste with her new single, 'Mad.' The song, which Reneé wrote alongside longtime collaborator Alexander 23, Ali Tamposi, and Omer Fedi (who happens to be Addison Rae's boyfriend, ICYMI), taps into the frustration we tend to feel in the middle of a fight with our significant other. Her punchy delivery is as playful as it is honest, as she sings about wanting to work through an argument so she can go back to the good vibes of her honeymoon phase. Ahead, we break down Reneé Rapp's 'Mad' lyrics and their potential meaning, because you have to be prepared for the Bite Me Tour. Duh. Lyrics written by Reneé Rapp, Alexander Glantz, Omer Fedi, and Ali Tamposi [Verse 1] Take five, we've been at it all night Not a sorry in the world I ain't already said Ugh, Christ, getting hard to be nice Not a single little curl on your head, don't want me dead Okay, I get it, you wanna be mad I wish I could take that pretty little face And shake some sense into you like Reneé sets the scene of a seemingly never-ending argument with a scorned lover. She's already apologized profusely, but is hitting a dead end when her partner is still upset. During her Cosmopolitan cover story, Reneé opened up about her relationship with Towa Bird (who could be the 'pretty little head' the curl she sings about is perched upon) and whether they fight. 'First of all, healthy relationships fight! Our first fight was probably when I was drunk. When I go out, I often stop making sense,' she said. 'Towa was trying to get my attention and tapped my shoulder. I felt nothing. And she was like, 'I've been trying to get your attention for half an hour.' And I looked over, like, 'When?' She thought I was kidding because it was so unbelievable, which I understand.' [Chorus] Hey, you! All of the time you wasted being mad We could've been cute, and we could've been stupid Hey, you! All of the time you wasted in your head We could've been having sex You could have been getting all of my time But you were being mad Instead of using their energy to fight, Reneé suggests going back to the way things were during the chorus. While she hasn't revealed whether the song is explicitly about a heated moment with Towa, she gushed about their romance ahead of its drop. 'She's my best friend. I worship her. I love talking to her, and I also just love watching her talk. There's something so special about watching the person you are deeply enamored with talk about something they find interesting that has nothing to do with you,' Reneé told Cosmo. She added, 'Which is rare, because I think I'm the center of everyone's world and especially hers—and I am, clock it—but hearing her talk about streaming her shit [on Twitch], she's just such a little freak. She's this hot, sexy, intimidating thing, but I know a side of her that's such a weirdo.' [Verse 2] Okay, you can pout your lips Puff on a cigarette, face all Marlboro red Slow down, put my finger in your mout,h pull the bitter taste out Baby, you can have me instead Okay, I get it, you wanna be mad I wish I could take that pretty little face And shake some sense into you like On the second verse, she attempts to ease the blow with seduction tactics. They don't seem to be working, as she bursts into the chorus again. [Chorus] [Bridge] Don't give me the shoulder Come get closer God, it's pissing me off I wanna get mad at you right back at you But it's kind of hot She wants to move past their issues and get back to being lovers. And, sometimes, the heat of the argument can translate into incredible makeup sex. [Chorus/Outro] All of the time you wasted being mad We could have been cute, and we could have been stupid Hey, you All of the time you were fucking with my head We could have been having sex You could have been getting all of my time But you were being mad You could've been getting head

Syd and Ravyn Lenae are also set to join the 'Pretty Girls' performer on several dates. This marks Reneé's first headlining tour since her Snow Hard Feelings Tour in 2023 and her slew of festival shows in 2024. She recently performed the lead single off her sophomore album, 'Leave Me Alone,' at the 2025 American Music Awards in May and played slots at Capital FM's Summertime Ball and World Pride Music Festival in Washington, DC. Of course, she'll be bringing out all her hits and fan faves like 'Poison Poison,' 'Tummy Hurts,' and 'Not My Fault,' as well as new numbers from Bite Me, which drops on August 1. There's no way we're missing this, so it's time to prepare for pre-sales. Here's how to successfully buy Reneé Rapp tickets.

Luckily for us, there are several chances to score a seat for Reneé Rapp's Bite Me Tour. Fans can sign up for pre-sale access at Reneé's official website until Tuesday, June 24 at 11 p.m. PST. As for the pre-sale, it begins at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday, June 26, while the general sale tickets drop on Friday, June 27, at 10 a.m. local time.
