Madison Beer defends Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and Charli xcx’s accomplishments after people claimed their success “came out of nowhere”:
“These girls have been working, literally, for 10 plus years, most of them. So I just think it’s a little bit funny when people are like, ‘Oh, this person just dropped out of the sky.’ I'm like, no they didn't. They’ve literally been working for so long. It's important that we note that and credit it, because it sets really unrealistic expectations. There's such an influx of people wanting to be artists these days, obviously, and wanting to pursue the creative arts, which is amazing. Or this person was an overnight sensation. Terms like that were always coined and said to me as a young artist, and then I would end up feeling like a failure for not being successful after two years of being signed when in reality, sure, there's probably been a couple people that are technically overnight successes. But for a lot of people, it takes a really long time. It's so cool seeing these girls show that their hard work pays off. They should be credited for their hard work and not just be called overnight successes, you know?”
