Scream Queens Star Keke Palmer on Her New Video - 'My Sexuality Is Defined By Me'
"This song feels right. It feels right and it’s telling who I am. And it captures my identity," Keke says.
Scream Queens diva, Keke Palmer, is out with a new video for her song “I Don’t Belong to You,” and it features a bisexual storyline that has Keke’s on-screen persona leaving a relationship she finds stifling. Eventually she ends up with a woman, played by a Calvin-Klein underwear-clad Cassie. Did we mention that Keke arrives at Cassie’s door in lingerie and fur?
Beyond the obvious appeal of the video Keke explains in an interview with Necole Bitchie that the song is about coming to terms with change, partially in response to having come out of a long relationship.
“I don’t belong to anyone else but myself. I have to make my own decisions. Happiness is defined by me. My sexuality is defined by me. And that can change and this can change and I can make it what I want to make it because I’m the one who makes that choice” Keke told Necole Bitchie.
The former Disney star, who’s also appeared on Broadway and in major films like Akeelah and the Bee, and who’s starring as Zayday in Fox’s super-campy horror series Scream Queens, further explains how the song is an extension of her.
“…that’s what “I Don’t Belong to You,” is saying. This song feels right. It feels right and it’s telling who I am. And it captures my identity.”
Congrats to Keke on being true to herself. And here’s the video you all NEED to see!
