"I’m really lucky that every day this week, I got to spend three hours with my best friend in rehearsals," Siwa told the outlet. "At the end of rehearsal, she would go, ‘OK, we got there. You OK?

Siwa recently came out as part of the LGBTQ community, although she hasn't really given herself a label and is still figuring it out.
"It’s like, I want to figure it out. I like ‘queer,’" she told People in April. "Technically, I would say that I am pansexual because that’s how I have always been my whole life … just like, my human is my human."
