Subsequently, Aguilera has influenced and inspired several acts and artists in industries worldwide.
Fame and stardom
[edit]Aguilera is one of the best selling music artists of all time,[1] and has released nine studio albums, garnering a number of successful singles.[2] Various music journalists and authors have since noted Aguilera's impact on the entertainment industry[3][4] and has deemed her as one of the greatest pop artists.[5][6] Aguilera has been considered one of the greatest vocalists in pop music,[7][8] and has featured on various "greatest singers of all time" lists.[a] With the recognition of her vocal ability, she has been often been referred to as the "Voice of a Generation".[13][14][15][16]
Aguilera has been called a pop icon and a triple threat entertainer.[17][18] She has often been labeled a diva for her stardom and persona.[19] Bustle writer James Tison noted comparisons to Mariah Carey adding that "[Aguilera] has mastered being a diva in the best way possible".[19] Aguilera has also cited Carey and her music as an influence.[20] Tison also noted Aguilera's sexual personality and "willingness to embrace her own sexuality" as her most important quality.[19] Conversely, Entertainment Weekly writer Kyle Anderson opined that Aguilera's diva image was often heavily negative noting that she "carries too much cultural baggage with her" and that she "often fails to come across as particularly likable in interviews".[21] Aguilera has often been criticised for her diva persona by various artists including The Wanted,[22] and Mary J. Blige.[23]
Honourifics
[edit]Billboard called Aguilera one of the greatest artists of the 2000s,[24] with Variety writer Jeremy Helligar opining that Aguilera was "poised for Mariah Carey-level chart longevity".[25] She has also been classified as one of the main references of Millennials.[26] Writing for Vice, Wanna Thompson analyzed Aguilera's fame in the turn of the 21st century, stating that she "dominated mainstream pop-related discussions" and that her "perfectly packaged music and looks appealed to tweens and teens who wanted to be like the pretty, chart-topping pop stars plastered everywhere".[27] The commercial success of her first projects as a bubblegum pop singer caused an effect that influenced record labels to invest in new artists who attracted the same youthful appeal, catapulting names like Jessica Simpson and Mandy Moore.[28][29]
In 2004, Aguilera was listed as one of the most influential people in the music market according to The Independent,[30] and was ranked as the eight greatest woman in the phonographic industry by VH1.[31] In 2010, Aguilera was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[32]
Aguilera has also been nicknamed a "Queen of Reinvention",[b] as she is noted for having reinvented her image numerous times throughout her career.[36][37]
Disney Legend
[edit]Aguilera has had a longstanding relationship with The Walt Disney Company and was honored as a Disney Legend in 2019 for her "significant impact on the Disney legacy".[38] Harper's Bazaar noted Aguilera's career beginning with Disney, calling her a "Disney darling".[39] Hello! named Aguilera a Disney Princess.[40]
Her connection to the company began when she first appeared as a Mouseketeer on The Mickey Mouse Club, and was later named one of the most successful Mouseketeers to come out from the show.[41] Aguilera was chosen to perform the theme song, "Reflection", for the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Mulan (1998) after sending a recording of Whitney Houston's "Run to You" to Disney.[42] The song was released on the film's soundtrack and played during the film's closing credits.[43] Aguilera also included it in her self-titled debut album and Billboard writer Mitchell Peters noted that the recording "shot the then-teenaged singer to stardom on the strength of her powerful pipes"[43] Following "Reflection", Aguilera began to appear in other Disney media including a performance at the Walt Disney World Summer Jam Concert (2000).[44] Her song "Blessed" was also included in the soundtrack for the Disney Channel Original Movie Miracle in Lane 2 (2000).[44]
In 2020, Aguilera re-recorded "Reflection" for the live film adaptation of Mulan.[43] After its announcement, she tweeted, "Once a Disney girl, always a Disney girl".[43] She also recorded a new song for the film, "Loyal Brave True", which was later shortlisted as one of fifteen potential nominees for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 93rd Academy Awards.[45] During the COVID-19 pandemic, Aguilera appeared on the ABC television special, The Disney Family Singalong and its follow-up, where she performed "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "Remember Me" respectively.[46] In 2021, Aguilera performed "When You Wish Upon a Star" for ABC's Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary special, accompanied by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra.[47][48]
Fandom
[edit]Aguilera's fan base are known as "Fighters", drawing inspiration from her 2003 single "Fighter".[49] She is one of the most popular musicians on Twitter[50] with approximately 17 million followers,[51] and was one of the most searched artists in the world in 2002, 2004, and 2010 through Google.[52] She was also one of the most popular searches in 2003 by Yahoo! Search.[53]
Mainstream perceptions
[edit]In the media
[edit]1990s–early 2000s
[edit]Before her debut, RCA Records vice-president Nick Cucci noted in in the July 24, 1999 issue of Billboard magazine that Aguilera would "not be a quick-burn teen artist" and called her a "signature artist".[54] Producers had reportedly invested over $1 million worth of writers, producers and vocal lessons into Aguilera.[55] After rising to fame with her self-titled debut album a month later, Aguilera began to appear in the media.[56] Three singles from the album peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 including "Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants" and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)".[57] "Genie in a Bottle" is noted as one of Aguilera's singature songs and was described a "hormone-bomb" by Stereogum writer Tom Breihan, who went on to say that after its initial reception, Aguilera explained to the public that her "big hit was not about sex" but rather "about self-respect".[58] "What a Girl Wants" is also recognised as the first new number-one entry of the 21st century.[59] The song itself received positive reviews and its accompanying music video reached the top of the Total Request Live's (TRL) video chart for over five weeks.[60]
Throughout her career, Aguilera has been heavily compared to Spears in the media.[55][61] Due to these comparisons, Aguilera was consequently considered a rival to Spears.[62] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly opined that Aguilera was "a good girl pretending to be bad" when compared to Spears.[63] Christopher J. Farley of Time considered her a more impressive artist.[64] The two had first met at 12 while co-starring on The Mickey Mouse Club show alongside peers Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake.[65] Yahoo! News writer Elle Nelson noted that while the two have "never seemed to return to the same friendship they had as kids", they have since supported each other throughout their careers various times.[62]
Early in her career, Breihan found that Aguilera "thought of herself primarily as a [...] young Mariah Carey-type",[66] but was instead marketed as a bubblegum pop artist due to the genre's popularity in the late 1990s.[67][68][69] The New York Times writer Lola Ogunnaike opined that "her label morphed her into a pop princess" despite Aguilera's protests.[70] Aguilera herself later noted her frustrations with this era, adding that she felt she was portrayed as a bubblegum pop artist who "had to play a virgin but not act like one".[71] Aguilera was labeled as a teen idol,[67][72] and has been named as one of the artists who revived teen pop in the late 1990s.[73][74] Time magazine stated that she was a "pioneer [in] a different type of teen stardom", crediting her vocal ability as responsible for the phenomenon.[64]
In 2001, Aguilera covered "Lady Marmalade" for the Moulin Rouge! (2001) soundtrack alongside Pink, Mya and Lil' Kim.[75] Reports of a "feud" between Aguilera and Pink began to surface although in 2009, Pink revealed in an MTV interview that she had taken offence to executive Ron Fair pushing for Aguilera to receive the "high parts" of the song.[76] In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Aguilera noted that "there was no drama whatsoever when all of us were on that stage together".[77] Aguilera and Pink later reunited on The Voice.[77]
"Dirrty" image
[edit]Wanting to depart from the teen idol image, Aguilera filed a fiduciary duty against her then-manager Steve Kurtz for "improper, undue, and inappropriate influence over her professional activities" and eventually hired Irving Azoff to manage her career.[78] She began to sport a new image in early 2002 where she dyed her hair black, got body piercings, and posed nude for several publications.[79] She began to embody a new provocative and extravagant alter ego which was referred to Xtina.[80] Aguilera's new image was widely criticized by media outlets.[c] She released the single "Dirrty" which garnered a negative response in the media with Entertainment Weekly labelling her as "the world's skeeziest reptile woman" and both Conan O'Brien and Simon Cowell calling her a slut.[86] The music video for "Dirrty" garnered more negative criticism with various conservative organizations and moralists soughting to have the video banned on MTV.[87] Aguilera also served as the host of the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards and opened the show dressed as a nun before showing off a more revealing outfit, which also received media attention.[88]
Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Adam White was more positive about Aguilera's new image and recognized that her "embracing of an overtly sexual image in the wake of adolescent stardom was a tried and tested route to adult success".[2] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic also opined that Aguilera reached "maturity with transparent sexuality and pounding sounds of nightclubs".[89] Aguilera went on to release her fourth studio album Stripped (2002) which received generally mixed reviews initially but has since gone on to become one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century.[90] The album's second single "Beautiful" received universal acclaim from music critics and contrasting media reactions compared to Aguilera's previous efforts.[91] The song later won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 2004 Grammy Awards.[92]
At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Aguilera opened the show singing "Like a Virgin" and "Hollywood" alongside Spears and was later joined by Madonna whom they both kissed.[93] The performance received heavy media attention with some media outlets retrospectively considering it one of the "most iconic" VMAs performances of all time.[94][95] Despite this, Entertainment Weekly wrote that Aguilera is often forgotten to have been apart of the kiss, as during the moment, the camera man made the "decision to cut away from Aguilera's kiss with Madonna" to showcase Justin Timberlake's (Spears' ex-boyfriend) reaction.[96] While Aguilera did not immediately respond to this, in 2018 she noted on an interview on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen that "I definitely saw the newspaper the next day and was like, 'Oh, well I guess I got left out of that one'" and praised her second performance during the show of her song "Fighter" with Dave Navarro.[96]
Late 2000s
[edit]In early 2005, Aguilera began to embrace a new image which was inspired by classic Hollywood figures and 1920s inspired aesthetic.[97] This new image drew inspiration from actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood, such as Bette Davis and Marilyn Monroe, to go with her then-upcoming fifth studio album's 1920s–1950s musical direction.[98] Vice writer Hazel Cills opined that Aguilera's new image was a result of her marriage to Jordan Bratman and wanted to "hark back to a time when women were ladies".[98] She released the single "Ain't No Other Man" to positive reviews and during the song's music video, she adopted a new persona named Baby Jane, named after Bette Davis's character in the film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962).[99] Aguilera released Back to Basics (2006) to positive reviews with Stephen Erlewine opining that the album was "all the more impressive" coming after the "near career suicide of Stripped".[100]
In 2008, Aguilera adopted a futuristic image for her greatest hits album Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits.[101] She began to incorporate electropop elements into her music,[102] which drew comparisons to the image of then-newcomer, Lady Gaga.[103][104] At the end of the 2000s, Aguilera was named the twentieth best "Artist of the Decade" by Billboard, and was nominated for the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Act Ever.[105] In a review of her greatest hits album, Slant Magazine writer Sal Cinquemani opined that Aguilera's legacy was attributed to her combination of Whitney Houston's vocals, Madonna's outspokenness and Mariah Carey's image.[106]
2010s–2020s
[edit]Aguilera described her sixth studio album Bionic (2010) as an album "about the future", and credited her newborn son as an inspiration and added that he "motivating [her] to want to play and have fun".[107] The album marked a new era for Aguilera but faced short-lived success and mixed reviews from critics including Perez Hilton.[108] Hilton alleged that Gaga had used him to write "terrible things" about Aguilera and Bionic being a copy of her work.[109] Entertainment Weekly later named Bionic the fifth worst album of 2010 in a year-end list.[110] That same year, Aguilera also filed for divorce from her husband Bratman and began dating Matthew Rutler, a set assistant on her then-upcoming film.[111]
Aguilera subsequently starred in Burlesque (2010) for which she received positive reviews for her role.[d] Despite this, the film received mixed reviews.[116][117] On the film's mixed reception, W writer Lynn Hirschberg opined that while the film was a "disappointment", it is "rare for a pop star to have success in musicals (for every Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues there's a Mariah Carey in Glitter)".[118] Aguilera attributed the film's reception to a "tumultuous set" where the first-time director Steve Antin, clashed with his ex-boyfriend Clint Culpepper, the head of the studio.[118] Despite the film's mixed response, the soundtrack received generally positive reviews with Aguilera's ballad, "Bound to You", being nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.[119] Aguilera's performance of the song "Express" from the soundtrack on the seventh series of the The X Factor UK received criticism for being inappropriate for pre-watershed television.[120]
During this time, Aguilera began to face heavy negative media attention particularly for her professional and personal life.[121] In February 2011, Aguilera omitted a few lines while performing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XLV, which led to extensive media coverage.[122] She apologized for the incident saying, "I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place [...] I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through".[123] That same month, Aguilera performed a tribute to Aretha Franklin at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards alongside various singers including Yolanda Adams, Jennifer Hudson and Florence Welch.[124] After the performance, Aguilera's heels got caught on her train and she nearly fell.[118] Aguilera was also arrested for for public intoxication.[121]
In 2011, Aguilera joined the NBC singing reality competition television series The Voice as a judge.[125] Entertainment Weekly writer Kyle Anderson opined that The Voice helped Aguilera "regain much of the cultural cache she lost in the latter half of the aughts".[21]Aguilera spent six seasons as a coach returning for the second, third, fifth, eighth, and tenth seasons.[126] Aguilera gave birth to a second child in 2015 and stated that her time on the show allowed for stability for her and her family.[127] In 2016, her contestant Alisan Porter won for the tenth season marking Aguilera's first and only win during her time on the show.[128] Aguilera left the show after its tenth season noting that, "It became something that I didn't feel was what I had signed up for in season one [...] You realize it's not about music. It's about making good TV moments and massaging a story".[129]
In 2012, Aguilera took on a dance-pop route and released her seventh studio album, Lotus garnering the single "Your Body" which became her sixth number-one on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.[130] The album received generally mixed reviews.[131] Anderson stated that the album was "supposed to be a glorious victory lap" for Aguilera but that she had not quite out-lived the failure of Bionic and Burlesque.[21] Pitchfork writer Claire Lobenfeld retrospectively agreed and noted that the album "was supposed to be a rebirth, but it faltered".[132]
After a six year music hiatus, Aguilera returned to music with the release of "Accelerate" which became Aguilera's tenth number-one on the US Dance Club Songs chart.[133] In March 2018, Aguilera appeared on the cover of the spring 2018 issue of Paper, titled "Transformation".[134][135] Photographed by Zoey Grossman, the images featured Aguilera with minimal makeup and no photographic manipulation, debuting her freckles.[136] Her appearance in the pictures received significant media attention and widespread praise.[137][138][139][140] This led to other celebrities such as Beyonce and Adele, who had posed similarly, receiving attention.[141] She released her eighth studio album Liberation (2018) to positive reviews with many publications calling the album her comeback.[e] Aguilera also embarked on The Liberation Tour, her first concer tour in ten years.[145] For promotion of her ninth studio album, Aguilera (2022), Aguilera began showing off a red-haired look.[146]
Eminem feud
[edit]In the early 2000's, Aguilera was involved in a highly publicized feud with American rapper Eminem.[147][148] After the release of "Can't Hold Us Down" by Aguilera in 2002, critics noted its lyrical references to Eminem who had negatively referenced her various times in his raps.[149] In 2018, Aguilera noted on Watch What Happens Live! with Andy Cohen that its "really in the past and [...] it was thirsty then and it's thirsty now".[149]
Musicianship

Latin music
[edit]Upon launching her music career in the late 1990s, Aguilera was named as one of the artists who shaped the "Latin explosion" and contributed to the Latin pop boom in American music in early years of the 21st century.[150][151] In 1999, Los Angeles Times writer Agustin Gurza wrote that alongside other Spanish pop stars such as Shakira and Carlos Santana, "never before had so many Latinos spent so much time at the top of the pop charts in a single year".[151] People en Español author Jennifer Mota also noted that Aguilera "created music to cross borders" which in turn helped "music executives understand how big the Latin market really was".[152] POPline also noted that she "played a pivotal role in the expansion of Spanish-language music within today's American pop scene."[153]
In 2000, Aguilera released her first Spanish-language album Mi Reflejo to commercial success with Aguilera receiving the Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album,[154] and two Billboard Latin Music Awards.[155] In September 2018, the album was ranked number ten on the Billboard's Top 20 Latin Albums of All Time.[156] The album itself was best-selling Latin pop album of 2000 and spent 19 weeks atop the Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart, becoming one of the few albums to spend the most weeks at number-one.[157][158] In 2022, Aguilera released her second Spanish-language album Aguilera to generally favourable reviews and was nominated for ten Latin Grammy Awards, winning for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.[159][160]
Feminism
[edit]Aguilera has also been praised for emphasizing the importance of feminism in pop music;[161][162] several journalists agree that her use of sexual imagery has helped catalyze public discourse on the topic.[83][163] Lamar Dawson, a columnist from HuffPost, praised her feminist efforts in the music industry and recognized that "while Christina isn't the first pop star to place feminist rhetoric into pop culture, she led the charge at the beginning of the 21st century of influencing the next generation of impressionable teens who were too young for Janet [Jackson] and Madonna's curriculum".[164] Gerrick D. Kennedy from Los Angeles Times shared the same point of view and stated that "for a generation who hit puberty during the great 2000 pop explosion, Aguilera was an essential voice with music that tackled self-empowerment, feminism, sex and domestic violence — subject matter her contemporaries were shying away from".[165] Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, co-founder of The Vagenda, opined that the provocative dance routines in Aguilera's music videos were "empowering",[163] as she has been referred to as the forerunner of the slutdrop dance style.[166][167]
Videography
[edit]Aguilera's videography impact was also analysed by music critics. While "Dirrty" (2002) has been described as "one of the most controversial videos in pop music history",[168][2] and one of the greatest music videos of all time,[106] Issy Beech from i-D recognized that the audiovisual work "paved a path for videos like "Anaconda" and "Wrecking Ball" [...] paved the way for open sexuality from women in pop".[169] In the video for "Beautiful" (2002), the highlight scene of a gay kiss has been considered one of the most important moments for LGBT culture,[170][171] in addition to start Aguilera's image as a gay icon.[172] Both works was elected as one of the greatest music videos of the 21st century by editors from Billboard,[173] while she was named one of the greatest women of the video era according to VH1.[174] In 2012, her videographic collection and some looks used throughout her career were part of an exhibition by the National Museum of Women in the Arts aimed at illustrating "the essential roles women have played in moving rock and roll and American culture forward".[175][176]
Physical appearance
[edit]Body and wellness
[edit]Throughout her career, Aguilera has received body shaming critical comments from media outlets and on social media about her body.[177] In an interview with Glamour Aguilera noted that during the late 1990s and early 2000s, "the media's obsession with her weight was particularly painful", adding that when she "started to fill out" from her teenager body, her "self-esteem then was based on how skinny [she] was".[178]
In 2012, she drew criticism over her weight gain from several publications,[179] and received favorable media attention the following year after a significant weight loss.[180][181] In 2024, Aguilera received media attention for another significant weight loss and began to spark rumours of using the diabetes treatment, ozempic.[182] In response, Aguilera noted in her interview with Glamour that she is "not going to take it on" adding that "other people’s opinions of me are not my business".[183][184]
Fashion and style
[edit]Aguilera's style and fashion has attracted significant media attention throughout her career,[185][186] and she has been named a fashion icon.[187][188] Jon Caramanica, journalist from The New York Times, concluded that "Aguilera will be remembered for her glamour and her scandalous take on femme-pop",[189] while Janelle Okwodu from Vogue noted that she "has never been afraid to take a fashion risk [and] has filled her videos with jaw-dropping styles and risqué runway looks".[190] Following her appearance at New York Fashion Week in 2018, Dazed named her one of the most stylish people of the year.[191] Aguilera's influence on fashion has been noted by several publications.[192][193][194][195] Samantha Sutton of InStyle noted Aguilera's influence on the rising fashion trends of 2021.[196] Writing for Vogue in 2022, Christian Allaire said that Aguilera was "ahead of her time" when it came to her provocative image.[197]
Since the beginning of her career, Aguilera has attracted criticism for her revealing clothes,[198] and has been called a sex symbol.[199][200] In an interview with MTV News, Debbie Gibson accused her of "influencing girls out there wearing less and less", considering that "she lives and breathes the sexual image".[201] In response to negative comments, Aguilera stated: "Just because I have a certain image, everyone wants me to be this role model. But nobody is perfect, and nobody can live up to that".[202] VH1, included in the list of the sexiest entertainment artists in 2002 and 2013;[203][204] in publications from FHM and Complex, she received similar honors in 2004 and 2012, respectively.[205][206] In 2003, she was chosen as the sexiest woman of the year by Maxim, stamping the cover of the best-selling issue of the magazine's history,[207] and she was named one of the most beautiful people in the world in 2003 and 2007 by People.[208][209]
Gay icon
[edit]Aguilera is recognized as a gay icon.[210][49][211] Most notably, her 2002 song "Beautiful" has been called an anthem for the LGBT community, as Aguilera dedicated the song to the community.[49] The video gained high media attention for its positive portrayal of gay and transgender people.[49] UK LGBT rights charity Stonewall named it the most empowering song of the decade for LGBTQ+ people, and for having "inspired millions of young people around the world".[212] Aguilera has also campaigned for the awareness of HIV/AIDS,[49] and also spoke out against Proposition 8 in 2008 noting that " it just doesn't make sense to me why you would put so much money behind something that stopped people from loving each and bonding together".[213]
In 2019, Aguilera was awarded by the Human Rights Campaign for using her "platform to share a message of hope and inspiration to those who have been marginalized [...] bringing greater visibility to the LGBTQ community".[214] In 2023, Aguilera was honored for her LGBTQ allyship and for advocating for the queer community at the Stonewall National Monument.[215][216]
Creative inspiration
[edit]Critics also highlighted the impact of her work in popular culture; while Stripped (2002) was called "the blueprint for divas making the transition from teen idol to adult pop star",[217] Aguilera is credited for "paving the way for a generation of pop singers".[15][218] Jeff Benjamin from Billboard stated that the album explored a "process of self-identification and declaration still influencing today's mainstream scene", in addition to "how of today's biggest pop stars have followed a similar path, exploring and incorporating these strategies into their careers".[4] In 2007, her self-titled debut album was added to the definitive list from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, being recognized as one of the "history's most influential and popular albums".[219] Since then, Aguilera and her work have influenced various recording artists including Adam Lambert,[220][221] Alessia Cara,[222] Angy Fernández,[223] Anitta,[224][225] Anne-Marie, Ariana Grande,[226] Ava Max,[227] Becky G,[228] Britney Spears,[229][230] Camila Cabello,[231] Charli XCX,[232] Demi Lovato,[233] Doja Cat,[234] Dua Lipa,[235] Grimes,[236] Halsey,[237] Hayley Williams,[238] Iggy Azalea,[239] Karol G,[240] Kelly Clarkson,[9] K. Michelle,[241] Lady Gaga,[242] Lauren Jauregui,[243][244] Meghan Trainor,[245] Nicki Nicole,[246] Olivia Rodrigo,[247] Olly Alexander,[248][249] Rina Sawayama,[250] Rosalía,[251] Sabrina Carpenter,[252] Sam Smith,[253] Selena Gomez,[254] Stacie Orrico,[255] Tate McRae,[256] Tinashe,[257] and Troye Sivan,[258] and athletes such as figure skater Johnny Weir,[259] ice dancers Zachary Donohue and Madison Hubbell,[260] and swimmer Dana Vollmer.[261] In 2010, Whitney Houston, Aguilera's idol herself, cited the singer as an inspiration, admitting in 2010 that: "Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and Beyoncé — they stirred my curiosity about coming back and making a record."[262]

I was inspired by her show and she is a beautiful woman of power ... Thank you @xtina for inspiring me !!! To be honest, I'm not trying to be critical of anybody. What I posted is a projection of the insecurities I deal with all the time as a result of how my parents and the media have treated me ... I know what it feels like ... I struggle with this because of how I feel about myself, not because I hate how anybody looks ... I feel like my family knew I was insecure and people were trying to purposefully feed into this insecurity by not letting me have a choice in the people who were on stage with me. I appreciate you all being understanding with me as I figure out this new life I'm living !!! 📷: @carriedraw". Archived from the original on September 14, 2022.
