Personal life[]

Palmer at BUILD speaker series in 2017

Following the release of her single "I Don't Belong to You" on October 25, 2015, Palmer explained:

I don't belong to anyone else but myself. I have to make my own decisions. Happiness is defined by me. My sexuality is defined by me. And that can change, and this can change, and I can make it what I want to make it because I'm the one who makes that choice. So that's what 'I Don't Belong to You' is saying. This song feels right. It feels right, and it's telling who I am. And it captures my identity.[71]

Palmer has struggled with anxiety and depression.[72] In 2019, as part of the #YouKnowMe campaign, she shared via Twitter that she had an abortion.[73] On December 1, 2020, Palmer announced that she has been dealing with Polycystic ovary syndrome her entire life.[74]
