One winding of his number of doings saw London as the backdrop of Troye Sivan teasing fans casually on Instagram, showing himself tallying points on his cup with a brick wall in the background. Working on such cool-guy vibes, the singer went ahead and placed his chill attire: bright pink and white striped shirt under a textured cardigan, with denim shorts showing a lot of wear and tear, and sunglasses placed on top of his head. Upon sighting the surroundings, one would in.Turn observe a bike leaning on the wall, so it seemingly appeared like a fleeting moment of soaking his presence away in the city. The caption reading ‘London for 24hrs (again 😝) with @rabanne #rabannemakeup’ very well could have been referring to some collaboration or promo work with the said luxury brand.

Many adored the post, leaving praises and teasing comments. Another loved “Wow Troye never disappoints ❤️❤️❤️,” while one teased, “In that last pic it kinda looks like he’s walking around with an Activia yogurt.” The jocular spirit of these comments certainly shared with Sivan’s own conversational presence, a presence asserted through music and social media.
However, an opposing voice came from one who stated, “No word about Gaza? Seriously?” and quoted Martin Luther King Jr. about the moral perils of remaining silent in the face of oppression. There was the ocean of adoration outside of that comment, but this remark certainly cast a shadow over the ongoing demand that celebrities speak to global issues, even on posts unrelated thereto.
The fans could not help but make their own personal demands, one pleaded ‘I love you please go back to blonde,’ referring to his changing hair colors that had since been his signature image. Another in Spanish said ‘You are my entire life,’ showing the intense admiration that his followers have for Sivan.
Among the reactions, the jokesters had questions like ‘What is my dog doing here lol,’ heightening the quirky, interactive vibes of the post. Others jibed about his latest music with ‘New album when? I already know every beat of Stgeo.’
A Flash-back moment of Sivan’s brief stay in London should be raised here. Whether he was present for working or joking his way through, his Sivan-fueled discussions from fashion critique to political belittling are apt representations of why Sivan still remains a hot Celtic figure. Thus, there is another reason why people just cannot get over him.

In reality, who wouldn’t want to bump into Troye Sivan espousing espresso sometime on a London street? The dude can make a 24-hour trip vibe-worthy. Perhaps next time he’d stay for a bit longer. Might never, though. The online world will be waiting, one way or the other.
