Like everyone else, celebrities age, but female celebrities are frequently the subject of more scrutiny for every change in their appearance, whether it is organic or the result of artificial techniques.
A person’s look frequently changes as they age, which is a natural aspect of life.
Some people may find it more difficult to accept these changes, even if many do so with grace.
This situation is no exception; a pop phenomenon from the 2000s is currently in the news for merely displaying symptoms of age.
Continue reading to learn what both critics and admirers have to say about this legendary performer. The media once hailed Canadian singer Nelly Furtado as one of the country’s greatest musical talents when she first appeared on the music scene in the year 2000. Whoa, Nelly!, her first album, was a huge hit and a commercial and critical success. She won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the album’s tracks “I’m Like a Bird” and “Turn Off the Light,” which both peaked in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Furtado later disclosed in a recent interview that the truth behind the scenes was completely different, despite the fact that everything appeared to be ideal at the time. She revealed that she had difficulties in the early years of her fame.
“I have olive skin, and they’d kind of lighten my skin in photos, and kind of take my hips down all the time — they would always cut off in editorials,” she revealed while discussing the extensive airbrushing she had to endure. This incident is reflected in the song “Powerless,” which she published in 2003 as part of her Folklore album. “Paint my face in your magazines / Make it look whiter than it seems / Paint me over with your dreams / Shove away my ethnicity,” she sings in the song’s lyrics.
Having Portuguese ancestry, Furtado previously revealed, “I guess I was kind of angry about it by my second album.”
She is thankful for her journey and does not harbor resentment in spite of these difficulties. She attributes her development of assertiveness and the direction she needed to succeed in the field to her committed team and strong familial support.
She briefly left the spotlight to concentrate on her family.
The oldest of her three children, Nevis Gahunia, is currently 21 years old.
Her attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis came barely 14 months after she gave birth to her youngest two children.
Furtado’s official diagnosis came about as a result of her recognizing symptoms in herself while taking care of her children.
She and rapper Jerry (Gerard Damien Long) are parents to her two youngest children.
Her symptoms became more apparent after caring for two young children who were so close in age, even though she had unknowingly managed ADHD her entire life.
“When I was in college, I was like, ‘Boing, boing, boing, boing,'” she recalled. It has been with me all my life. However, having my two youngest children close by made me more conscious of my ADHD.
Furtado has concentrated on maintaining her composure and presence in the face of daily distractions since receiving her diagnosis.
She finds that her ADHD feels best balanced while she is at the dancing studio, therefore she places a high value on routines, exercise, and sleep.
Furtado recently made a comeback to the music industry with her debut album in seven years, which brought her back into the spotlight.
Her live performances of several of her new songs have sparked a fresh round of discussions.
“What a beautiful woman,” wrote one Facebook commenter in reference to her appearance.
She actually looks a whole [lot] better than she did in 2006 [sic], with a broader, more sensuous body after having children, according to another commenter. Perfect, I adore it.
“So, she gained some weight,” a fan said, expressing annoyance at people who were criticizing her weight. What the heck! She still has a stunning appearance. It is absurd that people are so fixated on weight.
“She looks better with the curves,” said another admirer.
Fans also responded to her presence on X, now known as Twitter, where one user wrote, “Nelly Furtado so [expletive] thick.”
“She was skinny when she was younger,” said another.But not right now!
