The Side to Side singer said, "I think we could be, I think we should be, gentler and less comfortable commenting on people's bodies, no matter what. If you think you're saying something good or well-intentioned, whatever it is - healthy, unhealthy, big, small, this, that, sexy, not sexy - we just shouldn't. We should really work towards not doing that as much."
"There are ways to compliment someone or to ignore something that you see that you don't like that I think we should help each other work towards," she added, "Just to aim towards being safer and keeping each other safer."
The singer went on to say that "there are many different kinds of beautiful, there are many different ways to look healthy and beautiful".
