“I had this moment of like, ‘Oh, my God, I haven’t had fun in seven years.’ Truly. I had this illusion that I had, because who experiences going to the Grammys at basically 17 and winning five?” she told the magazine. “But in life, I realized I had really not experienced that much. I didn’t go outside for five years. How was I supposed to have any experiences?”
The 22-year-old hitmaker’s latest tour will continue her long-standing partnership with the environmental nonprofit REVERB, which has yielded $1 million in donations to environmental, greenhouse-gas reduction and climate justice projects and more than 150,000 fan actions, Live Nation said.
