<p>When Netflix reached out to Australian electropop artist Betty Who about having her record a Pride remix of the <em>Queer Eye</em> reboot theme song “All Things,” telling her, “We think you&#8217;re the right person for this,” the partnership totally made sense. After all, Who (real name: Jessica Anne Newham) has been an ally of the LGBTQ community throughout her career, starting with a gay marriage proposal that went viral in 2013 and launched her career on a major scale.</p>
<p>“A man proposed to his boyfriend in a Home Depot in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a flashmob, to my song ‘Somebody Loves You,’” Who recalls, speaking backstage with Yahoo Entertainment at the <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tagged/firefly-festival/">Firefly Music Festival</a> in Dover, Del. “It was a free download at the time on SoundCloud, and they sent me and my management the video, being like, ‘We did this thing. We hope it&#8217;s OK. We don&#8217;t have the copyright to the song, but we want to put it on YouTube for our friends and family who couldn&#8217;t be there.’ And my manager sends [the video] to me, and he was like, ‘You&#8217;re gonna cry.’ And I was like, ‘No, I&#8217;m not.’ And then I watched it, and I was literally sobbing in public, very, very publicly.”</p>

<p>Who gave her blessing, of course. And 14 million YouTube views later, the couple, Spencer Stout and Dustin Reeser, tied the knot — and Who performed at their wedding. “I flew to Salt Lake and I sang ‘Somebody Loves You’ as they walked down the aisle, and I literally couldn&#8217;t even look at them because I was so emotional,” she says. Who has kept in touch with the Stout-Reesers and even visits with them every time she’s in their town.</p>

<p>Who credits the entire LGTBQ community with kickstarting her career, which began with the RCA Records releases <em>The Movement</em> and <em>The Valley</em>, and got its own reboot via the independent EP <em>Betty, Pt. 1</em> this month.</p>
<p>“I think there is a really large space for particularly female pop acts within the LGBTQ community. I think [gay fans] play a large role — especially in my case — in getting a lot of artists off the ground. I wouldn&#8217;t have a career if it wasn&#8217;t for the LGBTQ community,” Who says. “The first show I ever played in New York, there were, like, 80 gay men there, and that was literally it. So, I think that&#8217;s kind of just been my experience throughout my entire career. … I&#8217;ve felt the most at home within the LGBTQ-plus community. I feel like I&#8217;ve found a space that I can sort of be myself and also share my stories, share my insecurities and good days and bad days with them. And they share theirs with me. I&#8217;m very, very lucky.”</p>

<p>And for her <em>Queer Eye</em> song, she says: “I&#8217;ve been super-involved in the LGBTQ community for my entire career, so it was supercool that something like this [happened]. I think that [show] is impacting particularly gay culture; it&#8217;s such an interesting conversation-change, and the way that they sort of educate people. It&#8217;s all really comes from their hearts, and they&#8217;re all really vulnerable and loving and open, and I think it&#8217;s such a different show than it used to be. I&#8217;m so proud to be a part of it at all.”</p>
