She explains that she eventually managed to get back into shape in time for her major performances, but that it took a lot of time and effort to do so. She says, “I did a show three months after giving birth, which was crazy. I had clearly never given birth, and I didn't know that I would gain 60 pounds—57 pounds."
Of course, none of that would have been possible if it hadn’t been for her determination and passion for her music and performing, where she adds, “I feel so fortunate to do my job. I love my job. I love singing. I love the way it feels."
