Spanish singer Rosalía has captured the attention of fans and enthusiasts through an emotional interview. Speaking to Billboard, the singer shed light on some sacrifices behind her career. The Grammy-winning artist reflected on the personal costs of fame.Billboard asked Rosalía,"What's the biggest challenge that you feel like comes with this career?"Rosalía answered,"The price you pay, the sacrifice, the amount of moments that you lose with your family, with your loved ones. My grandpa died when I was at the Latin Grammys in 2019, and I was about to perform when I found out. I couldn’t even be at the burial. Those things, I’ll have to live with the sadness and the regret of not being there."The singer continued:"Those are things that are not the good side of being a musician: always struggling, always being committed to whatever you’re doing, to the people who are there in the audience that night who paid for their ticket to see your performance. Maybe that’s the thing they’re looking forward to the most that week. The price is really high, but this is what I chose, and I’m fully conscious that this is the decision I’ve made."Netizens reacted to her emotional revelations, saying:"That’s the dark side nobody talks about. Everyone screams “chase your dreams” until they realize success costs you moments you’ll never get back. Fame isn’t glamorous, it’s a trade deal with regret."NOBLE @iamnoblefxLINKThat’s the dark side nobody talks about.
