"I grew up feeling very annoying," the singer told Los Angeles Times.

"It was a huge insecurity of mine. I'm the baby in the family, and I played probably the most annoying instrument to be bad at. Hearing someone be bad at the flute is a nightmare. And I was bad for at least two years."

"I've had that anxiety shadow me my whole life, and I think I'm healing something in myself — in my inner child — that I didn't even realize I'm healing," she explained.

"I've heard everything I could possibly hear about me, so nothing can bother me now," she said, sharing that she's seen all the memes and jokes.

"I've seen myself mashed up with Kamala Harris. I've seen me as a mannequin dummy. I've seen Chili's baby back ribsslathered across my face," she said.
