Aurora is most defo not straight lol
Actually- Hm… She do be giving off lesbian vibes tho
she herself ,said that she dated both men and women , shes bisexual
Not necessarily, pansexuality exsists 😉
Puppet is not one of her “popular” songs, it was never in the charts and many people (even some dedicated fans) don’t know it. There’s just one version of this song on youtube and it has pretty low audio quality.
Does anyone know her favorite color?
Is anyone else obsessed with the song Runaway?
Nope, but I suspect it’s purple. It would suit her personality 🙂
Green
She said in an interview her favorite color is red
