Lara, a singer in the popular girl group KATSEYE, is coming out as queer ... revealing she's known she was "half a fruitcake" since she was a kid.

The 19-year-old singer opened up about her sexuality while interacting with fans on the Weverse platform Monday ... admitting she was concerned it would negatively impact her while competing on the "Dream Academy" reality TV show that created the six-member ensemble.

“You know in Dream Academy, when it came out I was really really scared, to be honest," Lara said. "I didn’t know if people would accept me and I really thought it might ruin my chances of getting in."

Before this glammed-up girl with beads, bows and ponytails turned into a super star and a pop princess, she was just goin' ham with the costume jewelry ... and dancin' up a storm when she was just 6 years old ...

She first emerged on the scene when she became the first Canadian finalist on the competition show "So You Think You Can Dance." Her dance moves are always going viral -- most recently with her song "Revolving Door."

Need one more lil' hint? You can't spell 'Tate' without 'ate!'

Mathew Knowles is making it crystal clear -- Kanye West’s controversial antics -- especially those attacking Mathew's family -- won’t fly forever, and it’s just a matter of time before it costs him dearly.

Just days after Ye took an offensive swing at Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s kids during his online ravings, Mathew tells TMZ ... after 35 years in the biz, he knows one thing for sure, "People pay a price for being stupid, especially in the music industry."

The widely held belief is Ye's mental illness is fueling his recent ranting, and Mathew acknowledged that, saying, "I'm hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs, in terms of mental health."
