Janelle Monáe says she time-traveled to the 1970s to see David Bowie in concert: 'I was backstage'
Maybe so. The 39-year-old “Phenomenal” singer, who uses she/her and they/them pronouns, revealed that her perspective on becoming an artist changed after she went back in time and attended a David Bowie concert.
“I think when I saw David Bowie,” Monáe told Lucy Dacus during a recent “Musicians on Musicians” conversation for Rolling Stone. To which Dacus replied, “You saw him?”
“I did,” Monáe said. “I traveled back into the 1970s and I saw him do Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, and it was incredible.”
Dacus appeared visibly confused by Monáe casually dropping some time-traveling lore. “You traveled back…?” she asked.

Janelle Monáe casually claims she's a time traveler: 'I traveled back into the 1970s'
Janelle Monáe is going viral after casually claiming in a conversation with Lucy Dacus that she once traveled back in time to the 1970s.
The moment took place during a musicians-on-musicians interview published by Rolling Stone. About halfway through an otherwise ordinary discussion, Monáe told the Boygenius singer that her love of costumes is inspired by seeing David Bowie perform in the 1970s — the decade that preceded her birth.
"I traveled back into the 1970s and I saw him do 'Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars,' and it was incredible," Monáe said, referencing Bowie's 1972 album.
