"I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for doing. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend, so it does get irritating"
About this Quote
The pivot is the tell: “Now it’s turned into things I am famous for doing.” That’s not just complaint; it’s an indictment of how fame mutates into a separate profession, one where your private life becomes the product. The examples she chooses are pointedly domestic and ordinary: “rows with my mum,” “my boyfriend.” She’s not caught in wild rock-star excess; she’s being packaged for having the same messy relationships as anyone else, only with photographers. That ordinariness is the cruelty. It suggests a tabloid culture so bored with actual craft that it will monetize the most banal friction.
The phrasing “it does get irritating” is almost comically understated, which makes it sharper. She’s performing politeness while describing an encroachment: the media’s entitlement to recast her as a soap opera rather than a musician. Coming from a young woman whose career began in childhood, it also carries a quieter subtext of stolen agency - the frustration of watching your identity get rewritten in public, with your talent treated as background music to your personal life.
