How can you not be impacted when you're up on stage creating this unbelievable music that people love and adore, but at the same time, you're getting berated because of the way you look.

Like,

Nobody is bulletproof.

You're going to be impacted by that, especially if it's something that you've heard your whole life.

Yeah, it's so trading.

exactly and you're seeing it in the media you're seeing hearing on the radio like it's not you can't just switch off from it right and also she shouldn't have to this isn't on her right and i get the intention block switch off of course and if that's helpful then we need to do that not engage but like she's living in this world where she is well known she is famous this stuff is going to sink in and it sinks into all of us no matter how much we try to avoid it and does does the um

Of course it does, because your weight is being tied to your worth or your health.

And like what I would say is everybody is a beach body, right?

But I can also recognize that we live in a world where that's not necessarily true for everyone, because people do then have experiences, negative experience with people who do comment on their body or like...

make them feel a certain way.

And what I would say is, you know, working on your health, great, perfect, but there's so many aspects of health that we can work on that have nothing to do with weight, that can positively improve our health, our world, our social system, etc.

And I think we're constantly just infiltrated with these messages around weight health, weight health, weight worth, and it's very difficult to tune that out when we're just surrounded by it.

Well, it's something that's always happened.

And I just think it is so, so upsetting that people feel the need to comment on other people's appearances.

The fact that the concert she's talking about, you know, it was a big BBC moment, you know, a huge stage in her career.

And the people who are commenting are people who weren't even at the concert.

So the fact that you can watch these big performances not even be there and still affect how she feels, even though she had thousands and thousands of people screaming at her and adoring her, knowing every single word off by heart.

And then there's these losers at home who decide to say, oh, you look terrible.

And she is, not only is she an Ivor Novello winning songwriter, she is a style icon.

She has probably done more activism than a lot of people have done in her platform in recent months.
