Billy Gilman: Dishes on Beyonce, feet and The Voice!

July 29, 2025 • VACAYA

SEASON 2 | EP 4

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of VTV, co-hosts Kev & Trev sit down with the one and only Billy Gilman—country music sensation, LGBTQ+ trailblazer, and VACAYA guest—to talk about life, love, and living authentically.

Billy rose to stardom at just 11 years old with his debut single "One Voice," which became a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and catapulted him to international fame. His debut album went on to be certified double platinum, earning him two Grammy nominations and a place in music history as the youngest artist ever to chart a Top 40 single on the country charts. But Billy's journey didn’t stop there.

In this episode, we explore the highs and lows of growing up in the public eye and coming out as a young gay man in the traditionally conservative world of country music. Billy shares candid stories about the challenges he faced in the industry, the support he found along the way, and how embracing his true self changed the course of his career and life.

We also dive into Billy’s personal life, including his thoughts on marriage, relationships, and the power of chosen family. And of course, we chat all about his recent experience on a VACAYA vacation—what surprised him most, what he loved about the community, and why LGBTQ+ travel holds such a special place in his heart.

Filled with vulnerability, laughter, and powerful insight, this episode is a must-listen for fans of Billy, lovers of country music, and anyone who believes in the power of living your truth.
