“It’s very close to my heart. It’s a story about me going through the trials and tribulations of my life, and really making the decision to be happy,” she said.
“How can I tell this story of not just my tour but my life in general to people that came to the show or couldn’t come to the show? I didn’t want to make it a video because I wanted to transcend beyond the audience I have.
“I wanted it to be in this fashion of storytelling where you could come on a journey through my life framed through my tour… The type of film this will be is a very no-barrier, no-holds-barred me being very honest with you, me talking about depression and overcoming that.”
