And I think I've hidden behind it didn't matter because then every time it happens annually, it would have hurt. And so when I finally did get recognized again, it was just like an extra layer of that bandage over something that I didn't even know really hurt me. And, you know, now I have enough. understanding to say, like, I don't need to win, but like anyone, I want to.

I think when you do things your own way, you're always respectfully a little bit ahead because I like to open the door. I, you know, it's nice when someone opens it for you, but I kind of like to be in front and open the door myself. And I think Women that are loud and, you know, open with their sexuality. And I don't want to hide behind that.

But I do think something of my—I think there's a couple things. Let's go back. I think from starting from being on Disney, you already have something that you kind of have to overcome, which I've never understood needing to overcome before. Disney or being Hannah Montana, because Hannah Montana was like a singer and I was never nominated for Best New Artist, which was totally cool with me.

But at one point, I just think I kind of was the best new artist. And if it wasn't the best, it was the most impactful to a certain generation that there should be some sort of recognition for that. And also the amount of work that I was putting in was so heavy. So I think with the Grammys, it was like overcoming Disney, overcoming the character. And then when I left the character behind, like...

All the way behind. Like it was like, okay, cut. I am officially like so me that I think I just went so many steps ahead really fast. And I don't think that everyone could completely keep up. But then also female rebellion has always been something that takes a little while for critics and for, you know, sophisticated shows to totally take that woman seriously. Yeah.

But there were other Disney artists that got dominated in that category. But they, I believe, I don't know who else before that, but the Jonas Brothers. But it was boys. And so they didn't have like a character to shed. But because I wore a wig and I was a pop star, you know, I remember being brokenhearted because the Jonas Brothers, I believe, got asked to perform with Stevie Wonder. Yeah.

And, you know, I never got an opportunity like that as a young girl when my show had been on air for years before. And I had had everyone on that show with Dolly Parton. We've had Vicki Lawrence, who, like, taught me so many amazing things. It actually was the greatest blessing, though, that those awards never happened because I was recognized all the time by millions of people that were really –

you know, their identities were being formed by me. There's a part of them that's like a little part of me. And so it's like, I love that people became my... You know, my reward is that people loved me and that felt good. But, you know, of course, every year, you know, never having my name called and I was just working so hard.

And I did feel like there was, you know, not necessarily saying I am owed it or I deserve it, but it just felt like, what am I not doing? Where's the math? Because I feel like if we're doing the equation, I feel like it equals some sort of, you know, just validation, physical validation.

I have a hard time pinning myself down, too. And I wouldn't say that all my albums are even necessarily reflective of what I would say or who I would say I am as an artist or musician. Sometimes my albums, you know, are experimentation for me and they end up being shared. And so with Something Beautiful, I wanted to... you know, reclaim and reimagine the word beautiful and what it means to me.
