It’s so easy to label someone when they have been in the public eye for over a decade. But just like all of us, they grow up, they change and they evolve. Labels might affect how someone is perceived by the general public, but it doesn’t define who they are today nor does it decrease their value and it never will. Camila Cabello has had her fair share of hardships throughout her career and yet she never stopped taking on challenges, working her hardest and being her kind-hearted and courageous self.
She always remained true to herself and her values and that type of authenticity is what resonates with so many people, showing them the power of embracing their true selves. To her fans, she is a fighter with the biggest heart who makes them feel less alone. Camila has always been loving and caring towards everyone and even with all the difficulties she has to face in her life, she went on without lowering anyone.
People might know the pop singer from different eras in her life, but what matters most is her powerful voice, magnetic stage presence, authentic personality and mental health advocacy. And even though she seems like such a powerful person, she is very delicate too. Beyond her public persona as a popstar, Camila has been open about her own struggles with anxiety and mental health, using her platform to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding these issues. Having someone like that to look up and relate to has helped her fans find their own confidence and embrace who they truly are.
Being a female artist in an industry that makes it hard for women to be their true selves is not for the faint of heart, but it hasn’t stopped Camila from being bold, extremely brave and kind towards anyone she crosses paths with. It’s very admirable and inspiring and deserves the utmost respect because it’s not always easy when there is so much noise trying to disturb your peace.
When it comes to her music, Camila knows how to capture her listeners and make them feel connected. With every collection of music, she has created a comforting atmosphere, but also knows how to switch it up and give her audience something different every time, while always staying true to herself. She portrays what a lot of people have gone through and has a unique way of describing feelings and situations that most of us don’t know how to talk about.
By being her charming, generous and inspiring self, Camila has taught her fans a lot more than she might realize. Thanks to her, they learned that life is worth living and being kind is the most important thing, not only to others but to yourself as well. When she said “you should treat yourself as you would treat your best friend” everyone felt it in their core. It’s so important to have someone who reminds you that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness and that it’s okay to be sensitive and to stay in tune with your emotions.
Watching our favorite artists become such admirable and successful superstars despite the hardships and challenges that come with their careers, it motivates us to keep working our hardest. They change our lives, add so much color to it and help us save ourselves. In return, we become their biggest cheerleaders and support their work the best way we know how.
With her upcoming 4th studio album C,XOXO, Camila is tapping into a new style sonically and she’s about to take everyone for a ride who presses play on it June 28. Buckle up and get ready for the journey!
