Madison Beer<\/a><\/strong> has been reflecting on what it was like to grow up as a famous person, and she says that social media has become terrifying to her as a result.<\/p>\n The singer has been celebrating several major professional milestones, including the release of a new album and a Grammy<\/a> nomination.<\/p>\n These achievements highlight just how far she has come in her career. Beer first rose to prominence by posting covers of popular songs on YouTube in the early 2010s.<\/p>\n For the pop star, one of the lasting consequences of her rise has been living under the scrutiny of social media.<\/p>\n Beer began posting covers of well-liked songs on YouTube in 2012, when she was just 13 years old.<\/p>\n One of her early uploads was a cover of Etta James\u2019s \u201cAt Last,\u201d which would play a critical role in her breakthrough after it caught the attention of Justin Bieber<\/a>.<\/p>\n The \u201cBaby\u201d singer shared a link to Beer\u2019s rendition of the song on his X (then Twitter) account. This endorsement caused the teenager\u2019s views and subscriber count to skyrocket.<\/p>\n Bieber also helped her to secure a recording deal with Island Records.<\/p>\n Beer had essentially become one of the first artists to successfully transition from social media visibility to mainstream success.<\/p>\n Beer\u2019s rapid rise did not come without a significant personal cost. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, the performer reflected on how being famous at such a young age deprived her of a normal adolescence.<\/p>\n Having only turned into a teenager when she rose to fame, Beer explained that she quickly felt she needed to hide her true self to avoid judgment.<\/p>\n She reflected on the impact that being thrust into the spotlight had on her journey of self-discovery.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel really sad because I was just trying to figure out who [I was],\u201d Beer said. \u201cIf you had a camera following you from literally 13 onwards, you would look back and be like, \u2018Oh my God.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n C Flanigan\/imageSPACE \/ MEGA<\/p>\n Beer admits that she has a \u201cpoor\u201d relationship with social media, one where she finds herself contemplating a complete purge of her online profiles.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like I\u2019m constantly anxious and feeling like I want to delete all my social media,\u201d Beer said.<\/p>\n She went on to explain how, conversely, she often stops herself because of the fans who share positive messages.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s something I actually struggle with weekly, where I will have a thought, \u2018I don\u2019t want to participate in any of that stuff anymore,\u2019\u201d Beer said. \u201cThen I\u2019ll go on TikTok, and I\u2019ll see someone post a video crying about how much they love me and how excited they are for my tour.\u201d<\/p>\n River \/ MEGA<\/p>\n One of the major milestones that Beer is celebrating in her professional life is the release of her album \u201cLocket.\u201d<\/p>\nMadison Beer Was One Of The Earliest Music Stars To Break Out Via Social Media<\/h2>\n
