“If Kylie [Jenner] were to walk out of the door and wear absolutely no makeup, sweatpants, and a tank top, people would be like, ‘Look how ugly [she] is. Oh my God, she’s so disgusting and she’s such a mess walking out like that,” Madison Beer says of the struggles of keeping up appearances in Hollywood.
“People are just used to seeing her so put together, so I feel like she can’t win, no matter what she does, whether she’s wearing a pile of makeup on her face and a gown, or she’s wearing leggings and a t-shirt, people will always have something to say.”
It’s this same world of celebrity-ism and the price tag that accompanies fame, a just-shy-of-17-year-old Beer is quickly adjusting to herself. In 2012, as Beer was entering her teenage years, she was uploading cover song videos on YouTube when Justin Bieber conspicuously tweeted a link that would change her life.
Almost overnight, Beer, found herself with a growing list of loyal fans (Currently around 9 million, across all her different accounts) and a record deal on J.B.’s label. She’s since been dubbed as the pop phenomenon’s protégé, just as Justin himself was Usher’s protégé not too long before that.
