The She Wolf singer appreciates the support from her fans and returns their affection, speaking of the sisterhood she shares with her female friends during her Billboard appearance.
"It's a gift to feel that I have so many sisters out there because I feel like a sister to my female audience. I feel there as so many women who have gone through what I have gone through. We have so much in common. I am not alone, it's beautiful.
"It feels like I also have an empowerment duty, for us women to feel increasingly more free to express our opinion, to express ourselves in any way we want. I am glad I can live this moment and be a part of it."
