She explicitly rejected the suggestion of making a move, noting that she favors relationship dynamics rooted in friendship and camaraderie.

The singer’s perspective has generated significant online debate. While some social media participants have commended her traditional approach to dating, others have defended the idea that women initiating relationships is perfectly acceptable.
