She gained momentum later, saying, “I was like, ‘I don’t care if my positivity bothers you — what wrong with you?'”
After a few laughs, the 34-year-old continued, saying, “Positive, feel-good music wasn’t mainstream at the time and I felt very misunderstood. I feel on the outside looking in, but I stay true to myself because I want to make the world a better place. So I had to be that change to be a better place. And now, I look around and there are all these songs about loving our bodies and being comfortable in our skin and feeling good and I’m so proud to be a part of it!”
Finally, the “About Damn Time” singer ended her victory speech with advice for others like her who may not be right for her, saying, “Stay true to yourself because I promise you, you will find people, attract people within you you. a life that believes in you and supports you.”
