“I deleted everything from my phone, which is a huge deal to me. Because dude, you didn’t have the internet to grow up with.”

“For me, that was a big part of — not my childhood, I wasn’t an iPad kid, thank God — but honestly, I feel like I grew up in a perfect internet time when there wasn’t the internet, I had a childhood, and I was doing things all the time,” she explains.

The 7-time Grammy Award winner added, “And then when I became a teenager, there were iPhones, and when I got a little older, there was everything I became, but being a pre-teen and Internet teen, those were my people, I was one of them.”

“I’m a person who uses the internet…and I don’t change anything about the person I am or the life I live, and I just keep doing what I’ve been doing over the years, and slowly the videos I watch the things I see on the internet belong to me. ‘Aww, it stinks,'” she admitted. .
