“I just wanted to say that anyone sending hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of this album does not support me and is doing the absolute opposite of what I would ever encourage,” she began.
‘I ask you please not to do that. It’s not how you should support me,” she continued. “It’s the opposite.”
“While this album captures many painful moments, it is also interwoven with a through line of deep, heartfelt love,” she wrote.
“If you can’t hear that, please listen more closely,” she concluded. ‘Thank you.’
