If there’s one thing Troye Sivan knows best, it’s what his gay fans like – and this week, he demonstrated that perfectly when he brought social media influencer hunk Vinnie Hacker to take the place of Ross Lynch as the hot straight boy in the live rendition of One Of Your Girls.
On Wednesday, October 16, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, Troye Sivan and Charli XCX’s Sweat tour lived up to its name, delivering a steamy performance that left the audience gasping for air.
The sold-out crowd got more than they bargained for when Troye invited TikTok sensation Vinnie Hacker on stage for a sizzling rendition of One of Your Girls.
Now, let’s talk about Vinnie for a hot second.
This tattooed hottie has been setting digital screens on fire with his lip-sync videos and moody selfies, amassing over 15 million followers on TikTok and almost 5 million on Instagram.
But Hacker isn’t just a pretty face – he’s also got some moves outside the digital realm.
Remember that boxing match against Deji at Social Gloves in 2021? The one that racked up 4 million views on YouTube alone? Yeah, that was our boy Vinnie.
But back to Troye’s show. As the opening notes of One of Your Girls filled the arena, Troye brought Hacker center stage, treating him (and us) to a lap dance that would make a pole dancer blush.
The crowd’s screams reached a fever pitch as Troye ground and gyrated on the visibly flustered influencer. Let’s just say the temperature in the room went from “Sweat” to “Spontaneous Combustion” real quick.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Troye has brought his music video fantasies (and ours) to life on stage.
Back in June, he recreated the original One of Your Girls video in London, with none other than Ross Lynch reprising his role as the straight boy object of desire.
In all seriousness, though, these two performances were a celebration of queer desire, playfully turning the tables on the straight male gaze that dominates pop culture.
And let’s be honest – seeing straight heartthrobs like Vinnie Hacker and Ross Lynch not only participate but seem to enjoy the experience genuinely? That’s the kind of representation we live for.
Just remember, folks: what happens at the Kia Forum, stays on millions of phones, social media posts, and in our dreams for years to come.
