Madison Beer refuses to see other pop stars as “competition”.

The 24-year-old singer has actually been “conditioned” to assume that other women in the industry look at each other as competition – but Madison doesn’t see things that way.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Madison explained: “I’ve always felt like that’s so f****** weird, and I hate that.

“I’ve never looked at other girls, really, as competition.

“There have, unfortunately, been people l’ve met that I’ve loved that I’ve been like, ‘Oh, f***, I don’t have your support because you might look at me and not want me to win because something in your head thinks that if I win, you lose,’ and that’s just not how I am.”

Madison is a long-time fan of Lana Del Rey and she’s received a huge amount of support from the award-winning star over the years.

Madison said: “Meeting Lana was just so huge for me because the phrase, ‘Never meet your idols’, that’s just not true when it comes to someone like her

“She’s just incredible, and she’s been so supportive, so there for me as a friend, an idol, a supporter of my music and of me as a person.”
