In a candid interview with Billboard, the multi-GRAMMY winner opened up about how the music documentary, which pays homage to her 2017 album El Dorado, showcases a new chapter in her life. “This tour was a special one for me as it was my first time hitting the road as a mother, and the journey of creating this album came with its own challenges,” she shared.
The artist also mentioned her journey in the music industry and how her fan base continues to expand, especially with a noticeable increase in younger fans. “Even though I’m not in my early twenties anymore, it’s surprising to see how many of my fans are very young,” she observed. “There’s definitely a growing number of young listeners enjoying the music I’ve been releasing recently.”
