Jill Sobule, the singer best known for her groundbreaking 1995 single I Kissed A Girl, has died at 66.

Sobule tragically perished in a house fire in Minneapolis early on Thursday morning, according to Variety.

The singer’s representative confirmed her death to the publication.

Sobule, who also had a song featured in the classic 1995 comedy Clueless, reached number 20 on US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks that year with I Kissed A Girl, making it the most-successful LGBTQ-themed song up to that point on the Billboard charts.

Although her fame ebbed over time, she continued to regularly record and release new music in recent years.

The performer had been scheduled to appear at Swallow Hill Music’s Tuft Theater in Denver, Colorado — her birthplace — on Friday.
