The 1970s pop sensation, Debbie Gibson had traveled from Las Vegas for TBEN's New Year's Eve Toast & Roast 2022 which was canceled due to the spike in Omicron cases. Therefore, the singer was compelled to make the most of her time in town by visiting family and going shopping. She went to the gates of Rough Trade NYC, the vinyl record store where many new and used vinyl records are available.
Debbie has shared that she prefers records though she's adapted to Apple music and she bought a Bangles album and Lana Del Rey's new record, passing Billie Eilish, Aslyn, and Grimes. She also noticed a deck of Grunge Tarot cards on the way. Debbie then shared how she was out when grunge came in and said, "I've always been a master of the pivot. I was an invented rebel." She took her teddy bear instead of taking a boyfriend on the tour bus as she holden on to her electric youth for as long as possible.
Debbie then added, "I was this little girl talking to my audience about little girls. When children become emancipated, they want to leave everything behind to take care of their youth."
She also forgave the rockers who sent her hate messages saying, "It's like the nature of people. They want to build something and tear it down." Continuing her shopping, she picked up a Phil Spector Christmas album and picked up Bonzie album and found Kylie Minogue's Disco album and said, "It's the fun prize. I still feel like Kylie is my long-lost sister."
Furthermore, Debbie turned down a set of remastered Billy Joel albums as it seemed like a lot for her to carry on the plane. Finally, she asked the store manager if Rough Trade carried any of her records but a vinyl number from The Body Remembers, released last year was due out on 21 January, so the store manager, George asked her to come back and sign some copies. She replied gratefully saying, "That would be fun."

Debbie Gibson Dating Life With Boyfriend Rutledge Taylor
The American singer Debbie Gibson has been dating medical doctor Rutledge Taylor since 2008.
The singer had revealed in 2014 that she was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2013. She also shared how her boyfriend, Taylor, helped her with her disease in an exclusive interview of 2018. She told how Taylor researched Lyme and helped her get into integrative approaches like preventive medicines and non-traditional therapies like meditation. The process did some help to her confessing that at times she felt amazing and pain-free but there were times when she felt super sensitive to chaos and foods. She added how the disease changed her immune and nervous system but she said, "I don't let it define who I am - or keep me down for long."
But her long-time relationship with Rutledge ended and she has shown her interest in adoption as her father's upbringing and the huge problem of children without homes in the U.S. made her favor adoption over IVF or surrogacy. She said, "People come down hard on those who don't have a rescue pet, yet the need to adopt children in this country is not front and center. Not that people shouldn't follow the natural order of life and have natural-born children because that's beautiful and I'm in awe of my friends and sisters who are parents. I just think for myself, that might end up being my only option if I want a family."
She continued to say how she was still in a place where she's come out of her last relationship and going into a new chapter and unwinding her health puzzle so starting a family is not on the front-burner for her right now.
