Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest asked the “Back To You” singer how much she engages with her 150+ million followers. She told them, “I used to a lot but I think it's become really unhealthy for young people, including myself, to spend all of their time fixating on all of these comments and letting this stuff in.”

She continued, “It was affecting me. It would make me depressed, it would make me feel not good about myself, and look at my body differently."
