Nelly Furtado is one of the most talented singer-songwriters of all time. She's known for her songs like I'm Like a Bird, Promiscious and All Good Things. She has lots of beautiful songs. She writes her own songs. She's very talented, but after she got married, she started gaining weight and as she aged, her metabolism slows down. And when she tried to have a tour recently, a lot of the fans and media were body-shaming her for gaining weight because of that she quits music.

I find it very sad to see a talented artist like Nelly Furtado being attacked for physical reasons instead of being appreciated for her art.

Nelly Furtado announced a music hiatus citing body‑shaming experiences, sparking conversations about artist well‑being and media pressure. The incident highlights industry discussions on body image, mental health, and support for performers’ personal challenges.

Wait, she was STILL going?! I thought she quit ages ago!! Has she had any new music lately? I'm surprised she felt pressured enough to quit a career music that she's worked so hard for. oidy shaming is nasty, and ordinary people AND young children, some of whom are her fans, face it all the time. I'm sure they'd love to have such a popular public figure fighting their corner. Then again, you just don't know what she might be going through herself, her mental state etc.

Well, she tried to have a comeback, but the press started body shaming her after her weight gain. But she had weight gain because, you know, she had pregnancy, she gave birth, she became a mother.On the other hand, Megan Trainor is having the opposite situation. Megan Trainor is being body shamed for losing weight because remember, Megan Trainor used to be the body positive icon.

She was a bomb and it is normal lose some of body shape but now she really looks big. Also tight clothes don't fit on her anymore and looks ugly. She should choose better outfit to wear.

Her songs have inspired millions of listeners around the world and continue to be played and appreciated today. Instead of focusing on physical changes, many fans celebrate her artistry, authenticity, and the lasting impact of her music. I miss her songs.

This is her best song ever

That's humans for you, one has to be extremely strong both mentally and emotionally to be able to survive the online space and even being a celebrity.

If Nelly Furtado is comfortable with herself, I think we should just let her be.
