With \u2018Eternal Sunshine,\u2019 that felt like a very different experience for me. I think the time away from it helped me reclaim certain pieces of it and put certain feelings that maybe belonged to my relationship to fame, or the things that come with being an artist, in a box somewhere else, and say, \u2018OK. I don\u2019t have to let go of this thing that I love. I can just put those things over here and not lose sight of my gifts.\u2019<\/p>\n “So, I\u2019ve just been taking baby steps towards healing my relationship to music<\/a> and touring, and I think my time with Glinda and with acting really helped me build the strength to be able to do that. But I can\u2019t express how grateful I am. I think it just held some traumas for me before, and I feel those dissipating. And that is such an extraordinarily beautiful thing.”<\/p>\n Read On The Fox News App<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Kidman also found herself in the spotlight at a young age.<\/p>\n Grande additionally opened up about how quickly rising to global fame affected her as a young artist.<\/p>\n Nicole Kidman Almost Chose Nashville Farm Life Over Hollywood Career<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “There was a tricky adjustment period in the very beginning, when my pop career took off the way that it did,” she said. “And I hope this doesn\u2019t sound ungrateful, but it\u2019s just a big adjustment when your life changes in that very drastic way.”<\/p>\n The “thank u, next” singer said that while she struggled with the sudden shift, she never lost sight of how fortunate she was to have a career doing what she loves.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m so grateful to be able to do what I love.
