‘From pop star to fearless rule-breaker, her place in culture isn’t just defined by numbers and chart positions (despite her huge success from the start: three No. 1s on her debut album and seven Grammys to her name).
“But by connecting to the core of who she is and what speaks to her audience.”
The singer told Paper that she has standards and values.
“I will never participate in the creative world in a way that compromises my own integrity,” Aguilera said.
She reflected on her dedication to her musical and personal development, for herself and her fans.
“At this point, there is a new me that is growing and developing and is very ready to emerge,” she added.
In the photos inside, she can be seen wearing a leopard print bustier with matching stockings and high heels as she sits on a chair. And the siren is also strapped into neon green tights with large oval holes in them.
She also said that she wants to appear on stage in a certain way.
“I’m an extreme perfectionist when it comes to preparation and making sure the details are right. I do as much as I can to prepare because I’ve been through it for so long, but then when it does go wrong, I’m like, ‘Whatever,’” she noted.
“There are more important things in life than a microphone falling off a stand. You have to laugh and deal with it as an artist.”

But she also has a laid-back side: “At the end of the day, I don’t take myself and fame too seriously. I do it for the love and the creativity, and how I can connect and hopefully spread messages.”
She also noted, “I have to feel strong in my message and my core and what I’m doing there. I think it’s been clear throughout my career that I’ve taken risks and chances. It’s very easy to err on the side of caution for the public perspective so that they feel safe.”
And she also brought up her mother: ‘That’s why the messages are so important. I come from an abusive family and seeing my mother feel voiceless and powerless sparked something in me from a very young age. I grew up singing in front of people. I could see the reaction as a little girl when I opened my mouth to sing. I was born with something that I believe is a gift, and I don’t take that lightly.
“I’m going to be the voice that I didn’t have growing up for my mother, the voice for other people who feel voiceless in their own circumstances. It was really hard for me to digest a lot of what I saw growing up, so I decided really early on that I was going to come up with something to say.”
This comes after Aguilera said she had been body-shamed throughout her career. She made her statements against Enchanting.
