The 29-year-old singer went on to explain, “There can be a moment where people really love you and you feel so supported and you’re like, ‘Oh, this is great.’ Especially in the beginning. I was doing interviews and people were like, ‘How do you deal with hate?’”

“And I’m like, ‘I don’t get any hate. It’s great.’ And then that changed really quickly,” the rumoured fiancée of Callum Turner added.
