A successful career, 18 million followers on Instagram and an innately beautiful appearance to match. Madison Beer has been spotted on the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival wearing Georges Hobeika, playing for packed-out crowds and just recently appeared on <em>RuPaul&#8217;s Secret Celebrity Drag Race. <\/em>And in 2020, she has sights set on her first full-length musical endeavor &#8211; all of this, before the age of 22. But like any millennial living a life centered on the internet, a world in the digital spotlight is not quite as glamorous as it is to the unassuming eye.<\/p>\n<p>Hailing from Long Island, NY, Beer found fame on YouTube after Justin Bieber shared her cover of Etta James\u2019 \u2018At Last\u2019 on Twitter, and in turn transformed her into a viral sensation. By the age of 14, she had signed a record deal but, as you will quickly learn, the &#8216;Hurts Like Hell&#8217; artist wanted to be authentic to herself. After a handful of songs, she was dropped by Island Records at 16years old for wanting to move her sound in a different direction.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-7s5MvFnXh\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

she revealed to GRAZIA on a candid Zoom call. &#8220;You think all the worst things and I think now with age and the slight wisdom I\u2019ve been able to gain in the past few years, I feel like I\u2019ve been able to see that it\u2019s given me the ability to be creative on my own terms and do things my way which has benefited me more than I could say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"quotation-style\">&#8220;I stopped really caring but it\u2019s hard when you have a ton of people criticizing you for just being human.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Since then, Beer has worked alongside Jax Jones and Offset but for the trolls of the internet, it has never been enough. While the accomplished singer-songwriter admits that she wouldn&#8217;t ever change a thing about her past, Beer does struggle with the attention and the pressure of perfection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It becomes really overwhelming at times and I wouldn\u2019t say I would change anything but there\u2019s definitely times I wish I didn\u2019t have such a big following; I wish I could go out without thinking, oh am I going to get photographed?&#8221; Beer continues, &#8220;I caught myself altering how I dressed and how I perceived myself which I don\u2019t think is very fair &#8230; I stopped really caring but it\u2019s hard when you have a ton of people criticizing you for just being human.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Spotify Embed: Madison Beer\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/artist\/2kRfqPViCqYdSGhYSM9R0Q?si=1RaAfGLMS2689gcywPMOAg\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the young bombshell is continuing her crusade of unapologetic honesty and according to the 21-year-old, this kind of vulnerability will be reflected in her forthcoming album. From exploring topics of\u00a0 &#8220;mental health or body image or bullying,&#8221; this is far from a breakup album; in fact, this is set to be the soundtrack for a misunderstood generation.<\/p>\n<p>From her home on Long Island and donned in sweats, GRAZIA connected with the artist on a lowkey Zoom call to speak candidly from self-isolation. And maybe, just maybe, her &#8220;dream collaboration&#8221; with Australian music export Tame Impala will one day come to fruition so we can meet Down Under, when this is all over.<\/p>\n<p>Tune in below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Madison Beer x GRAZIA\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/420917082?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nMadison Beer&#8217;s new single &#8216;Selfish&#8217; is out now.
