Renee Rapp talks about her love for Justin Bieber, meeting Beyonce and 'The Sex Lives of College Girls'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Renee Rapp recently opened up about her exciting musical career, meeting her favorite celebrities, and hopping on an acting offer.
The 'Pretty Girls' singer told Hollywood Reporter, “I’ve had the greatest morning of my life. I’m gassed. Beyonce sent me flowers today.”

The actress said the flowers showed up at her hotel room in Amsterdam, the fourth stop of her first European tour, four days after she covered Queen Bey’s country-tinged ‘Daddy Lessons’ at her February 13 show in Paris.
“I’ve never been speechless in my life. It’s literally going to make me cry,” she told the outlet. “She is everything — and the reason that I know how to sing. I would sit down and listen to her different tonalities and phonics and phrasing styles and be like, ‘Please, Jesus, let me be able to do this.’”

On her love for Justin Bieber, Rapp said, “I was obsessed with him. He was the one boy celebrity, pretty much, [that] I ever had a crush on. And I realized, as I was getting older, I was like, 'Oh, I think I just want to be him.'”
"Also, obsessed with him. Still. I’m a lesbian, but wow, do I love Justin Bieber? That boy is still cute to me, sorry. And he also, I think, has a similar [love] of R&B," she added.

A role that changed Renee Rapp
Renee Rapp played the character of a lesbian girl in 'The Sex Lives of College Girls'. Talking about the same, the singer-actress said, “I think it forced a lot of people in my life and my family to have to accept me in a weird way, and in some ways that are twisted, like, 'Damn, we could have done that a long time ago without her being on a TV show.'”
Rapp further added, “However, I think it made it a lot easier in ways that pissed me off but I’m also really grateful for. That [show] was the most parallel experience in my life, and I remember doing that specific coming-out scene and not acting at all. At all. I was just sobbing. I see that and I don’t see a character. I’m like, “That’s me.”
